Idling Problem

Well last night when i was coming home my car drove perfectly fine then i pulled into the driveway put it in park n put the e brake on my lights were still on and i noticed they were getting brighter n duller so i turned down my music and noticed the car was like sputtering and would jump and every time it did this the lights would all dim then brighten up again and the RPMs would drop a tiny bit then go back up again.

Any ideas of what this could be would help me out a bunch
Thanks

Jay

Re: Idling Problem

what is the idle speed? cuz when my idle speed was like 500rpm it would do that sometimes but when i adjusted it to about 750rpm it stopped cuz the engine was not making enough power at the lower speed and would make the lights dim.
