What would be the cause on an 1989 Chev Corsica 28litre will jump start fine and idle when turn on lights the engine will die?
Sounds like a bad alternator. The alternator runs the accessories as well as the charging of the battery, whereas the battery is resposible for start up. If you had to charge your battery that also means that alternator wasn't doing it's job and needs to be replaced. Its not a big deal to swap it out.
