about sa engine RPM going down when the headlight is on. well I would suggest having your Alternator checked. tingin ko "ok" pa siya for now (since hindi ka panaman namamatayan ng kotse!) pero I'm pretty sure na nag we-wear out na ang Alternator... or kundi may mahinang Ground sa Charging system. check the Battery too since it might be charging low.

also, idling at 1000 rpms is kinda "alright". pero mas maganda pa din pag nasa 900-800 rpms ang idle speed. well, what you can do is check the Throttle Body if its sticking (check mo sa loob.. it might be sticking due to gum & dirt), then check the Throttle Cable and the Idle speed adjustment screw (kung meron).


aite, peace.
