Was the battery disconnected
sounds as the PCM lost its memory
open hood and check for vacuum leaks
do a code scan if all check out fine
disconnect battery
clean throttle body and idle air cleaner
reconnect battery ,start and let it idle for a few min and than take it for a road test driving for 10 to 15 min
good luck
