HELP!!! Something Almost Always Broken, so true

Well a week after my $1777.77 car repair (new fuel pump, filter, line, tensioner pulley, #3 and 4 idler pulley, new belt, and an oil change for good measure), my car up and died on me today (again!!!!!)
Car is: 1999 9-5 2.3t. 94000 miles. The servicing above was done last week by a very reputable indy.
Symptoms: Crusing along at 70mph, all of a sudden no power, CEL starts to blink, then oil light and the ! triangle come on, CEL then stays on all the time. There was just a sudden 'click' (describing the feeling not an actual noise) and the car lost power. Turns over but does not catch at all. No running rough, or anything, it just died. Only symptom up to that point was 2 days ago it was really rough to start, took 3 tries before it caught and then required a good stomp on the gas peddle to stay on.
I doubt its throttle body (had that happen on my other car so I know what that feels like), so I am guessing maybe CPS or O2 sensor, or .... Ideas?? Car got towed to mechanic. So we'll see what they say then, just trying to understand what happened...
ANy ideas???
