Electrical problem
1987 Other Fiat Models 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 155km miles

Hi, took my old fiat for it's yearly check and they nearly failed it because the headlights and taillights, when on, kind of pulsate in time to the engine ticking over, ie. they are not a solid light but go bright and dim. Another thing, when setting off and sometimes in the middle of a journey, l get sudden power failure which lasts a few seconds as the car splutters and sometimes backfires but then it runs fine again. Can you help? Thanks very much!
