Default fast idle problem

car idles at 1500 rpm help
the problem started all at once, always ran fine then one day when i tried to start the car it started up and ran for about 5 seconds then the check engine light came on and it died. tried several time before it would run , then it ran fine , but know it idles at 1500 rpm's???? the only code it set was alternator code , can't recall exactly was it said though???
the only thing that was changed was i had a clutch master cylinder put on? and a skip shift ellimator jumper
