Charge light and coolant light come on under 2000rpm?

Hey Guys,

I've been having some issues with getting my engine running smoothly. It's very bad when its cold and continuously shuts off and whilst I was trying to diagnose the issue, I know that both my charge light and coolant light come on when the car is reving under 2000rpm. As soon as I give it some revs, it disappears. Both voltage and coolant are fine but appears to be an electrical issue? Perhaps a bad ground? I'm going to pull out the cluster and check but anyone know the best things to check please?

Thank you.

Get the alternator checked, if it checks good, make sure the connection is solid and not all corroded. Make sure your engine grounds are good as well.

Most likely the alternator is on its way out. I have 140 amp upgraded and rebuilt alternator I offer for $215. Comes with a 1 year warranty.
