Did you have the battery disconnected (maybe when you worked on the alternator)? If so, it takes the pcm time to relearn what was erased. It's normal for you to have some slight drivability problems until it relearns in all cells.
If you will indulge me, WTF is way annoying and offensive. I think this may be the last post I will reply to that has that in the content.

My winter car (93 grand am GT) was acting similar to yours ealier and it turned out to be a vacuum hose was somehow cut so i replaced it and it ran fine.. Dont know if thats your problem, but it would be a easy thing to check.
