My dash warning lights are acting strange.� The Alt and OX light come on sporadically for no apparent reason. Sometimes they go out when I shut off the engine, �restart and rev it up.� Sometimes it take 10-15 minutes of driving.� 
�
Also, every now and then my temp warning light flashes�while idling, after the initial flash at start-up, even while the engine is relatively cool.� When I turn off the engine and re-start it does its initial flashing and goes out.� I've double checked my connections and everything looks fine..� 
�
Another thing that happens from time to time, my engine stalls.� No shuddering, no power loss.� It just shuts off like a switch.� It's happened 3 times now and once it took about 10 minutes before it would start again.
�
Everything else seems to be running really well.� Am I missing something here?� Is this just the nature of the beast?� Can anyone tell me what might be going on?
�
One more thing...� :)
Is the green light on my refridgerator, the one for the LP pilot light, supposed to come on when I use the 12v setting?� 'cause it does, but�not when I use the 110V.
�
Thanks a bunch
Steve
