Boyfriend cleaned battery and cables today and I drove it at consistent speed as I was told then stopped car and restarted as I was also told, as this would help reset computer. Well now it will not stay running. It stops if I am idling or even stopped while driving. Help! I am currently pulled over sitting in unknown territory and I need to know if there is something I can do to at least get home safe. Thank you!

Hello,

The car should run okay you may need to hold your foot on the gas a little to keep it running until the computer relearns itself.

Here is a guide that will help you.
