Stock 94 NA - Intermittent Stall Issue
 
Hey All,

As of recently my 94 has started stalling after a random amount of time after start. When this happens I see the following:
- The tach gets jittery/jumpy
- The dash lights are usually dimmer than when the issue is not prevalent
- If I try to start the car again and leave the key in the on position it cranks but does not start.
- If I turn the key to the off position and then try and start it'll usually fire, sometimes it'll stay running and other times not.
- I've noticed when the car is going to stay running the dash lights are their normal brightness.

Any thoughts as to what is going on here? I suspect a bad ground but have checked them and they seem snug and making good contact? I checked the battery too and it shows a healthy 12v car off and 14v when idle. A long while ago I did have issues with the car failing to start, but after tapping the battery a few times it would fire up? So bad battery potentially?
