Stalls Out

I am having a problem with my car stalling out while driving. Sometimes my car runs fine with or w/out my A/C on. If I leave my car running it will eventually stall out while sitting still or when I slow down to make a turn. I changed my plugs last year and I put a new fuel filter on at the same time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your alternator is dead or dying.
Heres's a quick test to determined if its the alternator or not.
Start the car and leave it on. Go to the battery and disconnect the Negative terminal only. If the car doesn't die then its not your alternator, but if the car dies right away then its the alternator.

I just had a new alternator put on my car back in February. I'll have it checked out though.
