I had to replace the alternator last week. The car has 95k miles. No change at next start-up either. Any ideas? My guess is the bad mojo of the Z06 owner that I was passing to make my exit.

Replaced: crankshaft w/ DMD, EGR valve (clogged), EVR, DPFE, PCV valve, evap emissions hose & tube (cracked), window regulator (broken), LH & RH PCV tubes, UIM gasket (leak), ignition coil
