what do you mean revs on its own, like idles high? Obd II tells you whats wrongs, whats the pXXXX code? If the ses blinks, usually thats means some major misfiring and you could damage the converter

alternators have something called a voltage regulator, pretty much your computer tells the alternator how much amperage the system needs, and the alternator outputs that much amperage, but sometimes the regulators can go bad, and the alternator can run rampant and burn stuff up. And you can take the vehicle to autozone or O'reillys, they let you use the scan tool to read the diagnostic trouble codes your computer flashing. Since it will be a generic code reader, it starts with "p" followed by some number (ex.p1050). the idle issue might be a plugged EGR, or O2 sensor, but get the codes read first and go from there
