whats crackin guys. last night i came home from jammin around town. when i pulled into my house the clusther lights started dimming and turning on and off. the engine was trying to stall as well and eventually did. ( it felt like someone drained my battery instantly. kind of like fast in the furious movie lol) but i started it up immediated and it ran fine. today i started it up. everything was normal but when i was on my way home the rpms started dipping down. i had to give it some gas to keep it alive. but afer a little gas it was fine. this is starting to become a problem. i havnt checked for codes or anything. im just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what it could be? thanks guys.

Got a volt gauge in ur car???? This happened to me... It was my alternator. Took the thing 4 days to fully seize up. In the mean time the engine was bucking and stalling an the lights werre dimming if I let the rpms drop. It was pretty lame. But thats just my .02
