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.
