The alternator thing is just something that has stuck in my mind. It does make some sense. Electrical issues can be so weird at times, especially with noise. But it's also like trying to find a bad ground. Such a rabbit hole you could go down and still come to no conclusion.

I am going to pull bank 1 front o2 to see if it runs any better to see if cat is an issue.

It's back to running as bad as it did before. The only thing I have done is just let it run. Didn't touch anything else.

At the least you could have the alternator tested.
Either remove it and take it in.
Or find a shop that will test it on the car.
Or find all the specs. and test it yourself with a mutimeter
