I recently installed the Airlift 3p and installed new studs all the way around, with school and clinicals I didn't drive my car for about a week and a half while everything was slowly installed. Yesterday I took my car for a drive, I turned the car on and the ABS light was on, as well as check engine and traction lights. I disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes but nothing changed. I took it for a drive and the brakes felt normal. I couldn't get above 4000 RPMS in first and second gear. Autozone pulled the codes and the only one showing was the ABS sensor.
Then as I was in the Walmart parking lot, I came to a stop and the car just shut off. It turned back on without any trouble. Today I started the car up after going to visit my mom and it had a little bit of trouble starting, but that might be because it sat in the cold weather for a bit.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice here? I'm not a pro at this stuff and I'm at a loss here. I don't want to drive my car to school in fear it'll stall again.

Yeah for one buy a cheap bluetooth OBD-II scanner and the Torque Pro app so you can scan codes yourself. The scanner is $20 and the app is $5. Also if you really aren't getting CEL lights at all and it's idling like that I would check your air filter and run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner the next time you go to fill it with gas. If that doesn't work (fuel injector cleaner takes almost burning that entire tank of gas you added it to work) then maybe spark plugs. I have a feeling though if I had my scanner and hooked it up to your car I would get a code off it. Maybe Autozone couldn't read it because you reset it by unplugging the battery? I'm tired of reading guys doing this. Read the dang code first and if you had a scanner you could erase it with the scanner instead of unplugging your battery. You can even email it to yourself! It makes diagnosis so much easier. Modern cars have a computer to tell you what is wrong with it and you go erasing that info..
