Default why does my car die?!

i need some help guys..i NEED my car to work...i have a 2 month old honda alt. new belt, new battery, new cables, new main relay, new fuel pump, and everytime i come to a stop my car dies...it seems like there is something that should tell the alternator to keep the voltage up cuz theres a draw from the brake lights...but instead of doin that...it drops to about 50 rpms and sometimes goes bak to normal if i stop fast enuf to hold in the ebrake, otherwise it jus dies...doesnt matter if i have lights on/off heater on/off, no draws at all and it jus dies...wtf...its really makin me mad...helppp
