most likely its a bad ground or connection.
1) clean the plug/s connection/s at PCM, use "contact cleaner"
avail. at Radio shack etc. (disconnect batt. to do this)
2) remove ground cable from eng. and clean it well w/ sandpaper
and block bolt also. tight doesnt mean its good.
3) clean connections at Alt.? but you already had it off.
