Ford Probe '97- occasionally doesn't start

Hello,

I have automatic Ford Probe '97, engine 2.0 (with Mazda 626 engine).
Recently, I've been experiencing some problems. Occasionally (I think
when it snows or rains - humidity?) when I am driving and trying to
brake the engine dies. If I am going fast enough (over 20mph) it starts
immediately as the car rolls and, I guess, that makes engine starts.

It also every couple of hundreds miles (and I think coincidentally in
the bad weather) won't start. All the problems are gone if I disconnect
and reconnect battery for half a second. It looks like everything
(computer?) is being reset and car starts with no problem at all... for
next couple of hundred miles and bad weather....

Please help

Your car needs gas and air in the proper mix, and spark to light it off
at the correct time.
YOu should first determine which one is missing or bad when it does not run.
