Quick question - if the alternator was dying, would that cause the car to idle higher? I had noticed last night before it died that it was idling at about 1000 or 1200 RPM when I was sitting at a light or with the car stopped in gear or neutral and the engine running. I even turned of the AC to rule that out, but it kept idling really fast. I am thinking that the motor was running fast to try get the alt to give more power - would that make sense?

Otherwise, after all this I might STILL have an issue with the car idling fast. :(
