"I charged my battery last night, started it up today - Voltage across terminals was 12.44, running, same voltage when off.

Pretty sure its my alternator."

Correct. Engine running, voltage should be 14 to 14.5 across battery terminals.

"Funny thing though, when I started it, it hung at 3000 for about 5 seconds before falling to idle. Tried it twice, same result. What is that about? (I know the CSVT has throttle hang issues, mine has done it before but only under acc/decleration)."
Throttle Hang, IAC, Moosing or TB needs to be cleaned.

drove it to the dealer today (under batt power, good thing I got an Optima) They are replacing the ALT...I am a loser and couldn't do it. (Really I had other things to do, time is money)

Thanks too all though, update tomorrow night.
