well the thing about the low idle thing is that it had been doing that for moths already but i didnt think much of it until i noticed that the car felt like it was going to die out on me,
but like i said yesterday i had took the car in and got the positive cable replaced. yesterday it didnt make to much of a difference but today it started idleing a lil better.
my main concern now is the headlights that have that pulse.
idk what that could be.
any ideas?

btw thx for the input

They seem to be pointing at the amount of amps that the alternator is putting out. You can still have high voltage but the alternator will not be putting out sufficient amps to power everything. And the worst part is that the alternator will still check out during tests. Only test is to see how many amps are coming from the alternator. But basically people are saying its your alternator. Hope these threads help a little.
