Despite info in the archives, replacing the alternator will not solve the P0340/whining/bucking problem that is really due to a bad cam synch. Don't ask me how I know.

...and the fix is...

NAPA part 600-2900. Cam synchronizer, new cam position sensor, alignment tool all for $60 out the door. The plastic cap alignment tool holds the inner spinner in the center of the sensor gap. Pretty easy to figure out, using this cap, how to get things back in the way they were w/o having to pull plugs, get to TDC, etc.
