problem flashing lights (need help)
Hi you'll I don't post that much here, well i've been having problems with my car it's a 2001 Z28 the problem is my light and every thing that lights up flashes when I hit the gas and a lil when its at idel I check my alternator and it passed so it wasn't that so if any one can help me I would appreciate it thanks.
I have a 99 TA and mine does it too. Blip the throttle a bit and the lights will flash. I also notice it when I shift while driving at times. Sure would be nice to figure this out.
If you come up with the solution, please post back here so that I know what to check.

Are you talking an actual on-off flashing, or just a pulsing, where they never turn off but just get dimmer then brighter?
If it's a pulse, I'd replace the alternator. That's what happened to my '02 Z when the alternator went. I replaced it, and all was perfect again.

it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace your battery/ground cables with larger gauge ones when you replace the alternator as well. my headlights will dim slightly when the rpms drop or when i had my sub turned up.
