I might be worrying about nothing too.

That's what I found weird in both of my voltage scenarios. The initial FICM with voltage drop was 5 to 10 minutes AFTER a cold start and it only dropped to 44 volts for a few seconds. Weird.

The second time around, the voltage would drop to 45 at operating temps, and again for only a few seconds. Cold start voltages were fine.
