Update: When starting from an overnight cold start condition everything is fine. As the car is driven to a fully warmed up condition weird stuff would start to happen such as the radio cutting off, no transmission shifts, digital display messes up, etc. What I found is that the charging system voltage during the trouble is 18.8 volts! WOW! So I am in the process of replacing the alternator as the battery tests good. I thought about doing the regulator only but I don't want to do this twice. I am hoping that nothing got damaged by the over voltage. If there is damage..... well let's not go there right now. New alternator is due to arrive tomorrow.
