Default Check Engine Light

Hey guys, I drive a 92 Vigor GS.

My check enging light comes on regurlarly. Mostly comes on when I'm going down hills, or when I have a lot of thing in use, e.g. radio, wipers, heat, lights, etc.

Also, when my lights are running, the car starts acting weird. The lights on the dash dim when i come to a stop, and then when i go again, they return to normal. And when i'm stopped, the car will bounce up and down, as if it's gonna shut off, but then powers up right before it shuts off.

sounds like some sort of electrical problem to me. probably a bad alternator and distributor cap.
