Yeah, but if I hold the key where the starter isn't engaged, but the key isn't back to the start position, the vehicle runs. I mean, if I didn't have to shift the 5-speed and my hand didn't get tired, I could drive it to teh store and back, so the alternator output doesn't seem to hold water. I had it running 3 or 4 minutes after I had cleared the codes thinking it might bring back the '41'. Usually, the start feature on the fuel pump runs the pump about 2 seconds to bring the fuel pressure up to operating pressure and once the engine is running, the fuel pump runs normal.

Remember, it isn't running quite the same, although maybe if one of the fields in the alternator went out. I can take the alternator out and have it tested at O'Reilly's or Autozone easily enough and that's free. In any case, it'll eliminate a possibility, although I'd be happier if it were the alternator as opposed to the distributor or the ECM.
