throttle a little.  If I just drive offf the lights will stay on for awhile.
Same diagnosis?  Weak alternator?  Thanks."

        no, if I recall it correctly that's the way it supposed to work. I
"think" you need about 800 rpm and then the alternator light goes off and
reving up the engine gives you the 800 rpm.
