It sounds like it is staying on 'volts'. Either the alt isn't charging (broken belt, plug disconnected, etc.) or there is a problem with the choke & check relay. Have Autozone or someone test the alt on the car to see if it is charging. If it is, then you need to look at the choke & check relay. If it isn't charging, then you may need a new alt (verify that the plug in the back of the alt is plugged in fully first).
