Last night I was driving home from work when I noticed the dash lights getting dim and the parking brake warning light kept coming as soon as I pushed the clutch In too come to stop and the idle would fall to almost to zero an the car would start surging like it was about to turn off luckily at every stop before it shut off completely I was able to give it gas to stop it from turning off an but after I pilulled over turned the car off and then turned it on agan the problem was gone . Insight or help would be highly appreciated I'm just a spring chicken looking for some guidance not going to lie I drive this car pretty hard.

Ignition switch, voltage regulator on alternator, two things I'd look at for your issue.

Wow that was really spot on thanks it turns out it was the voltage regulator. Any idea what usually causes this to happen ?

B. The v-reg is a brush pack, they wear down over time. It happens to any of them.
