Idle Drops & Lights Dim
Ok This Just Happened Recently .
Ill Turn Car On To Warm Up . As Its Warming The Idle Begins To Drop & The Lights (Interior & Exterior) Dim Down . Also Seems As If The Car Wants To Shut Off .

So I Checked My Grounds . All Look Intact .
Checked For Vacuum Leaks . All Lines Are Intact .

Now Did Some Research And Read That It Can Be A Idle Air Control Valve .

Are There Any Other Problems That My Cause This .

Sounds like a voltage issue. Alt might be going bad.

I have this issue as well. It's intermittent, but frequent. IDK what it is? I've done about everything I know to try. It will stall sometimes after a restart while still warm. It also stalls sometimes if I coast with the clutch pedal depressed while in any gear above first. I did an auto to manual conversion, and I had a hell of a time getting all of the wiring correct. Not really sure if I did, lol. I noticed it was more frequent after installing a lighter flywheel too.

this is probably 100% right. make sure the ground wire on the alternator is cleaned up too.
