**sniff sniff** smells like an alternator problem to me, i am assuming your car is still a one(1) belt car, have you checked to see if maybe the belt snapped, that would explain the sudden jump in RPM, (cause there is a lot less drag on the motor if it isn't turning the alternator) this would also explain y the alternator tests out fine, it just isn't spinning. I am sure if the belt snapped you would know about it (the temp guage would be going up real fast aswell), it would be hard to miss.

OR MAYBE the belt is slipping over the alternator so that the belt is still intact, it just isn't turning the alternator, this would once again explain the sudden jump in RPM's, y the alternator checks out fine, and y it worked for about 2 weeks.

Make sure to tell us what's up when you figure it out.
