Reset the battery, again. To do this, disconnect the battery for about 10-15 minutes then reconnect. Let the car idle a good 10/15 minutes, then take it out for a spin in the city. At this point, the ecu is re-learning and should help you out with that problem with a couple days.

what mods do you have done to your car?

when was the last time you did a tune up?

if recently: are the plugs gapped properly?

got any vacuum hoses loose/missing?

as you can see--we need more information than you are providing us.
