Check your idle screw.. make sure the IACV is hooked up.

Is it possible that your cat may be clogged up?

reason is that if your exhaust gases cannot escape efficiently, then backpressure builds up and dies out the engine..

But now, since this is a new install, maybe you installed something incorrectly also and that will be hard to diagnos from here.
