'91 DX runs bad/dies with lites on.

I have a '91 DX and it has a weird prob. It starts fine idles great, even revs wonderfully. As long as it's running the marker and turn signal lights are on. If I turn on a turn signal, headlights or hit the brakes, it stumbles and dies.

As an added wrinkle, if I unplug any of said lights, it stumbles and dies.

My Chiltons has NO lighting wiring diagrams, and I have no idea where the ignition and the lighting meet.

help? or is that HELP!

Took it in to the shop. They found a ground plug in the trunk that was coming unplugged. If this is happening to you, save yourself $150 and plkug it in for yourself.

Boy do I feel stupid.
