This exact same thing just happened to me, if I boost the car, it will run fine for a few minutes and than it will stall again. Tt3Sheppard, what resolved your problem? I am out of warranty on my car and can't afford major work to be done. Hoping for DIY on this.
My car had been sitting parked for 3 weeks, I had to replace the battery when I returned. The battery light stayed on after changing the battery, drove fine for maybe 15 miles than the exact same scenario as described by Tt3Sheppard.
Help Please.

Check your battery cable connections. You may have to pull them again and clean them. If that doesn't do it you may be looking at an alternator issue.
