Default Crankshaft Position Sensor?

I haven't had the best luck with googling this scenario that's happening to me. So about once a week the car takes an extra 5 seconds to start and fires up normally. I didn't think much of it, just thought it was normal.

The past two weeks the car will "hiccup" and jerks around like a 15yr old learning to drive stick for the first time. It's started happening at all speeds, accelerating and cruising. The past two days now a new symptom has started and when I'm doing about 45-50 and I'm coming up to a stop I'll go from 6th to neutral and the RPMs will drop like normal to idle and then the battery light will flicker and then the car will stall.

At first I thought that it was my alternator giving me problems but Torque Pro is reading 12.9V and I know the adapter is ~1V lower than the alternator.

So before I have my wife order the part and wait two weeks for it to get to Guam I just wanted to check with my peers that I am in the right ballpark.

Thanks all.
