HELP: 1996 Saab 900s engine shutdown while idle

Hi,
I just got my 1st Saab few days ago, it's a 96' 900s, with 167K miles. The first day, me and the previous owner did a tune-up before the purchase, we replace the spark plugs, wire, distributor rotor, distributor cap and air filter.
During the first 2 days, the car drives fine. On the 3rd day I took it to the shop for oil change and state inspection, after I drove it home, I replaced the shift knob. But the next morning the car can't start, the battery died, so I replaced a brand new battery. But for some reason, after the car re-started, It's fine as long as the car is in gear and moving, but the engine always shutdown while the car is idling or the gear shift in N (neutral). Need step on the gas to keep the car running in neutral.
This is not happening before the battery issues, does anyone know what may went wrong? THANK YOU for your time.
