I had my battery replaced at walmart then drove about a mile and engine stopped would crank but not start I unlocked the doors and then engine would start. I can start as long as I unlock doors with remote or with the switch on door panel. When driving engine will stop at any speed but will idle all day without stopping. If I rev up engine when parked it will stop. This problem started when battery was replaced I have checked fuel pressure and every connection I can find also I get no fault codes

You need to go back to walmart and have them make this right. Either they took a shortcut and didn't use an alternative power supply to maintain the pcm memory.
Normal driving should allievate the idle/stalling.

When the memory is lost, some modules need reprogramming and some will adapt as it is driven.
This may need to be reprogrammed with a capable scanner.

Typically the low-skilled places such as walmart, quickie-lube type places will have a local skilled shop they do business with to fix their mistakes when they can't.
I would press them to make it right. Go directly to the manager.
