    I had a similar problem with my 7g. When it was cold it wouldnt run for shit and it would hesitate like hell. I did EVERYTHING to this fuckin car and it came out to be the distributor.. Maybe thats your problem

    It is a very good possibility that your car may have a vacuum leak. This will also cause your lights to dim. Here is why.

    When you have a vacuum leak your car will start to bog and the RPMs will lower when it is leaking. When your RPMs get lower obviusly your motor isn't revolving as fast as it should to keep itself alive.

    Your alternator (what keeps your battery charged) runs off your motor, when your motor speed slows down that means your alternator won't be genorating enough power to charge the battery well enough. Thus making the lights dim.

    I would agree with the man above. I've had numerous cars have similar problems and I keep up maintenence on my cars like a maniac. It's almost always turned out to be a vacuum leak, and most of those times it was an intake gasket that was leaking.
