Car started cutting off before engine was cut off.then it started cutting off in traffic. and yesterday it started being hard to accelerate and when i cut the engine off the fan continued to run until i started the engine again and cut it off quickly. it use to run smoothly but now it's rough.

Sounds like fuel starvation. Would suggest cleaning any filters in the fuel line or replacing.
Also check the stop idle valve. This should be inline in the air intake pipe to the intake manifold..
Remove it and clean with WD40.Make sure you note the orientation of the spring.
To reset the ECU disconnect the battery for 5 minute the reconnect. The ECU should reset to factory settings. Make sure you know radio and alarm codes!
Try petrol additive STP or Redex to clean inside the engine.
Thats as far as my knowledge goes, hope it helps.
