warning lights and battery light on?
 
this morning, when I started the car, both warning light (oil pres and coolant) and the battery light was on. The car starts fine and drives fine...under more throttle, the lights fade away but as soon as I left off the gas, the lights comes back on.

I just recently had my battery/alternator tested and it was working fine. What seems to be the problem?

It's the alternator.....or the connection to it.

but I recently just had it tested and it was fine? If it's the connection...how do I check for that?

Check the resistance from the nut at the top of the alternator to the lead on the fuse box (I think it's the second one in from the cockpit of the car off the top of my head). Also, check your battery connections and grounds. Something is not flowing right.

Did you notice what rpm the lights started comming on at when it was running.

after i turned on my headlights at night, the warning lights and battery light went away...weird...how do you check the battery connection? The wires all seem to be OK

I second the alternator being the problem. Have it tested again but at a different shop this time.
