Default 1998 V70 Stalling Out at idle

Hi I just bought a used V70 1998 with 160K. The fuel pump was just replaced before I bought it. It runs and drives great. It has an issue today though. I started it up and let it idle to warm up and change the oil. It idled for about 15 min and stalls. I restarted it and it will do the same if let sit to idle. I checked fuel pressure and it is 40-50 lbs at the rail and does not loose pressure when it dies. It just seems to shut off if left to idle for 15-20 min? It does not stall when driving and has no restart issues? Plugs and cap and rotor are new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I wonder if the fuel pump relay is goind bad.

Also check and see if you have an injector relay on top of the radiator.
