Default Whats wrong with my car?

Hi, hopefully from s2ki can figure out the problem with my car. So heres the situation, at first my car didnt wanna start, so i changed the battery, so that helped the starting situation. After i installed the battery though, my car nearly dies at idle or when im in neutral, when im depressing the clutch. This never happen before until i installed the new battery. So please tell me whats wrong with my car, could it be the ecu? the solenoid? or alternator? Anyone, please help me with your suggestions.
thanks Richard

Could it also be the weather that is causing this problem?

How many miles do you have on your car?When was the last time you changed your spark plugs?<---could be the problem.

If it's that bad, take it to a mechanic or the dealership.

If you have just changed the battery - you need to do the idle learn process. Let the car idle and complete two fans cycles. This will stabilize the idle revs.
