I got the sensors replaced and its not throwing codes at me for the moment, Throttle body cleaning will be this weekend.

the idle should be 600rpm in gear. if lower the throttle body/IAC must be cleaned with THROTTLE BODY CLEANER.
DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER !
with the battery/alternator issue measure the voltage at the battery and at the alternator output wire. this must be 13.75volts to 14.75volts dc with all the lights/hvac on max..
the alternators do fail with these vehicles. the regulators corrode.
buy a new alternator not rebuilt. these can be had with a lifetime warrantee. [delphi] autozone .
