Default 98 S70 starts but doesn't stay running!

I've had a bit of a problem with my 1998 S70 as of late. I am by no means a mechanic, but wonder if anyone might be able to help me out with this. My car starts and runs fine as long as I am actively driving. The car has recentlyhad a brand new alternator and battery installed. If I have to warm my car up or sit at a stoplight or drive-thrufor too long, the car will shut-off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This sounds familiar to the crap I'm dealing with in my 850. I wrote out a summary of my problems. Are they similar?
