same time
starts easily
idles rough for about 5 minutes when first started on cold engine
alternator checks out fine under load
battery checks out fine
no fluid leaks

With belt off, check the altinator to see if bearings are starting to seize up. While you are at it check the rest of the pulleys for alignment.
