Clean your throttle body/throttle position sensor.
By disconnecting your battery, you're forcing the computer into "re-learn"mode". After a few days, it thinks it's learned all it can. While learning, the computer runs the engine on several "default" values, ignoring some of the electronic signals being provided to it. Once it switches over to actually looking at some of the sensors, a bad sensor can stop the show.
BUT, if your TPS is dirty, it's sending a confusing voltage signal to the computer. After a few days of erratic signals, it just gives up looking for the signal, and shuts you off.
