Car appears to want to shut off when I brake...

Ok, so yesterday it was colder than the day before and I drove my car without ANY PROBLEMS, so I figured that since my car would mess up after being out in the heat and NOT being out in the cold it was the Main Relay, so I ordered one on Tuesday night so I could receive it today...BUT...this morning it was extremely cold and my car shut off on me while waiting to get onto the freeway....>___<

Stupid Relay was f'ing hard to take off!!!!!!!!

But I did it....the one I ordered was double the size of the original one ?_?

AND...my car is idling a bit higher now...is it cuz of the last time my co-worker adjusted my RPMs...? Either way it's running fine.

Did you get a photo of the new one? It should be the same size as the old...

No but I will try.

Aaaaaaaand it is not, it is slightly "taller" but still fit and had the same connections.

^so "double the size of the original one" was an exaggeration? lol

How's your car behaving now?

Yeah, my bad.

Well, I drove it last night for a couple of miles and I noticed less "stalling/pulling", idled slightly higher than before...

This morning I drove it to work, idled fine, didn't shut off...so far so good.

After having problems with the battery in my car, I decided to just remove the terminals from the battery posts and give them a cleaning. Engine seemed to start a bit smoother.

Yeah my battery terminals were clean.

In 15 minutes when I get off work I'll find out if the problem has been indeed fixed...I'm pretty confident it has been. I have changed A LOT on this car.

Can you just make a quick list so I can double check when I get my car on the road again?
