if... I mean, if...so the alternator output doesn't seem to hold water. ...

...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.


still points to the alternator. all of it. normal operation as explained above -- fp switches to alternator current, which you apparently don't have enough of. any number of poor running symptoms, including AT problems, can be attributed to the alternator.
