Headlights Flickering

i just wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem? i noticed at idle my headlights start to flicker and it seems the idle is a little rough. do you think it is the opti or the ignition coil?

Could be the Alternator going out, and the Battery is starting to get low on juice.

Alternator maybe. Look at the Voltage on the dash and see what it's doing, and where it's at during idle.

when i turn the key the engine rotates but wont start. it sounds like there is no spark. it does not even sound like it wants to start. i am thinking the coil.

Probably, sounds like Ignition somewhere. Good luck.
