I noticed coming in a bit ago I was getting a flicker in my dash and headlights that appeared like it was something induced by the ignition....

when I revved the engine it smoothed out and got more pronounced when it idled back down...

any suggestions? a strategically placed capacitor maybe? a failing diode or rectifier?
voltage regulator?

TIA

I agree with Alan. What you describe are the classic symptoms of a failing voltage regulator. Well, that is, if I presume your vehicle has the standard generator/voltage regulator setup.

I think he double posted and it was solved. He should have deleted this post.
