I just bought this car two days ago. Whenever I turn on the headlights, dash illumination for the spedometer etc won't come on, but all warning lights will. Also, the clock on the radio disappears when the headlights are on. The voltage gauge sometimes says it is charging normally, other times hovering around 10-11 volts. acceleration is sometimes, but not all the time, sluggish for about 30 seconds, then it races forward. what should I be fixing?

Check output of alternator, also check for a loose ground or a short.
