hmmm. well i guess i can start there.

Also my car is losing rpms when im at a stop or going from neutral to another gear. What could be that cause? No SES light comes on unless i let it go then the light goes away after i take off

both are symptoms of low charging voltage. Could be low battery voltage, low alt charge, high resistance of a loose or corroded battery connection, or an altogether unrelated issue. But that is the best place to start.
