Ok. So. I got in the car. As I'm driving the Battery light begins to flash. As I get to my destination, it is now just steady burning red. I started up again and drove a few miles and noticed that instead of about the normal 800rpm at idle, I was now at around 1200 rpm at idle. When I came to a stop and put it into park, it revved up to aroun 2800 rpm. When I turned it off it began to shudder and shake for several seconds. I started the car back up and drove home. When I stopped, I popped the hood, and had my friend turn the engine off as I watched. The engine, again around 2800-3000 rpm, shuddered and shook and I could see the belts beginning to turn and stop and begin and stop until it was fully off. What could this be? The battery light is making me want to think the alternator is going and it being out of whack is throwing other things off? Is it worse? Don't go easy on me. HELPPPPPPPP please thanks!
