Weird possibly electrical problem?
So i hadnt driven my 88 for ~2 weeks since we were out of town, and it ran great before we left with no issues. So I took it for a drive last night and it drove great until it was warmed up. Once it was warmed up the motor started dieseling at idle (dropping rpms, then going back to idle... kinda like a DSM does for instance). Then as soon as I get into the throttle and start moving BOTH the brake light and Charge light come on. As soon as I let off the throttle they go away again.
WTF is going on... I got it home, but im assuming the alternator is not charging or something. any ideas?

My 92 had a problem like that last year it did once on the way home then stopped and then the next day did it on the way to work, and then again on the way home but that time it dead out and I all of the sudden had no power from the battier, was able to boost it and get it home.
Changed the battier and it was fine.
Not sure about yours but maybe check that battery and alternator
