Your voltage should land between 13.5-15.5 volts while engine is idling-check and test the idle air contol motor and throttle positioning sensor-EGR and PCV valves

Thanks the IAC motor was not working put one in too day and she is up and running. I still have the thing with the lights flicking and found that the batt had a low charge so I charged it and voltage shows between 13.5 and 14.0 volts now and no lights have come on yet
