Just changed a headlight and had to take off the battery to reach. Put everything back together and now my car will die right after starting. No spudder or shake just dies unless I have my foot on the gas to rev.

Because you disconnected the battery you have to reset your security system. If not in manual look online for it.

Try holding your foot on gas pedal after cracking to keep it running. PCM may have lost base idle recognition. Give it about 2-3 minutes. Let me know how it goes.
