recently had total power loss and stall, had the alternator replaced. Now there is a slight pause from when the key is turned to when the engine turns over. What is most likely causing this to occure?

Could be a weak battery ot a loose connection. Try cleaning and retightening the battery terminals first. Have the battery tested.
