hmmm....make sure you're charging system is actually working and everything is connected. just take a few hours to look at your engine bay from every angle and make sure there are no problems. check your ignition system (plugs, distributer, wires) and just be certain everything is connected. most of the time it's just something coming loose or a broken wire or something. my car had similar symptoms when the bolt that spun the alternator sheered off and it wasn't charging the battery. it would jump start and start to run, and as soon as i put it in gear and started to drive away, the battery light came on and it would stall out. i dont have abs tho, so that light didn't come on, of course. make sure the charging system works first, then make sure the ignition system works. it's one of those two things.
