Have you checked to see if the new alternator is charging?

Should measure around 13-14 volts at the battery with the engine
running at idle.

I would guess either the alternator isn't working or the load of the
alternator is loading the motor down and causing the stall.

Good Luck

 

You may need to adjust your idle air passage or replace the idle stepper.
