Electrical Problem

First step is a trip to the local auto parts house to get your alternator/battery checked out. It is free at most of the big auto parts chain stores. Once they have passed inspection, start looking for other problems.

JR-Fixxer might be slightly more appropriate. JR-Guru is more like it.

In addition to JR-Guru's thoughts:

A lot of cars with smaller engines have IAC compensation for the BOO. We don't. But an idle on the verge of having issues, or excessive load can send the idle over the edge.

I'd want to inspect the wiring at the taillights to try and find crossed circuits. It's illegal and just unsafe to drive with directly-visible white light to the rear.

Good luck.
