Halp! CEL..

Halp! CEL..
Recently bought a 2005 RX8 with 59k miles. Love how the car handles, but I'm having issues.
I had a CEL of P2096, after filling up the tank with gas shortly after purchasing and did the following: changed air filter, changed MAF, gas cap, replaced coils, had the MSP16 done by mazda dealer, and spark plugs. I use 93 octane gas.
The CEL went away, but when I drive the car aggresivelyand then slow down due to traffic or a red light, the engine cuts out. Then I can't start the car unless I wait about 5 to 10 minutess.
Any ideas?

Oh yeah.. I also used a fuel additive.. Chemtool B-12.. This was about 3 weeks ago. I've re-filled the gas tank many times since. CEL came on before doing anything to the car.

What will driving with the battery disconnected do?

Yes.. car is completely stock..
I was under the impression of disconnecting the battery and driving while the battery was disconnected..
I have already disconnected the battery to reset ECU... No CELs but if I drive the car hard, the engine cuts off when returning to iddle..

After the ECU was reset, I drove 300 miles. The car was normal and I decided to drive more aggressively. The engine cut out again.. I think it's getting worse because yesterday it cut out when I was doing 70 mph on the hwy..
