I have a 2004 Ford f150 4x4 with the 4.6 engine
. About a month ago the battery went bad I replaced it. Ever since when I let off the gas quickley to stop or turn it has a habit of stalling it seems to stall more easily the colder the weather is. It never did this before I replaced the battery. Any ideas. Thanks Mike

Most likely there is a buildup in your throttle bore, and when you changed battery, ECM reset throttle control acuater motor (throttle) now the throttle plate isnt seating properly because of buildup causing it to stall at idle, clean throttle body and retest.
