Recently replaced the battery and now the vehicle will turn over at start but won’t stay running. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Did it run okay right after you changed the battery or did it happen as soon as you changed the battery? If so, this guide can help you fix it:

If not, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or you need to service, the throttle body. These guides can help you fix it:
