Check your afm make sure the connection is good. also does the engine sound fine when running/ accelerates normally, headlights stay bright and don't dim.
Also just because a "shop" does it doesn't mean its good. if you just had I done very recently I'd go to them and have them check their work. but check all your plugs sometimes things come loose when driving hard and one little plug maybe on the fuel rail or something comes loose and it will make your car die at idle. also if you have a dvom check to make sure your alt is charging properly at idle if you can get it to run for that long. but I'd go thru the harness and disconnect and reconnect all your connections shouldnt take more then 5 mins or so. check your grounds too!
