Power dimming at idle
On my 00TL(64k), on a slight grade at idle the interior lights dims as the engine seems to stumble slightly, at just above idle everything seems fine
where should I start looking to diagnose this problem?
Thanks a ton,
vinay

Definitely your alternator is dying and with that your battery will soon follow. Get it checked out asap or you're going to be on the side of the highway callinga tow truck!
