It sounds like a problem with the charging relay. When you start your car it uses the battery to supply power to the ignition until the motor is running. Then it switches over to the alternator to supply power to the ignition and charge the battery.
If this isn't working then the motor will start and run until the battery is dead then it will just die and not have enough juice to restart the motor. Does this sound like what you're experiencing? If not, Just e-mail me and we'll talk a little more.

Here is a way to check the alternator while it is in your car and running.....
With the car running remove the positive battery terminal..... if the car dies then the alternator is bad, if it continues to run then it is good. Make sure your fan belt is real tight on the alternator as well.

You say your alternator is good, my guess would be that you have a charging system fuse out,
either on the output side, of from the car on the field side
