thanks for asking , i am sorry to tell you that the problem you asking for could be for a lot of reasons , but , i will try to help you by tell you some things to check it , first you should be sure that the car is not over heated , and and the sparks are good , and all the cylinders are working properly and that by removing each spark wire but every one separately and see if any change happen ,if no change happen with one of the sparks so you found the problem and it is that you r car don't work with all it's cylinders , but if that will not be easy for you to do it your self , so be sure that if you driven the car to a local garage no damage will happened , and don't worry that shouldn't cost you a lot of money , and thank you for using fixya.

SOURCE: just hit 180,00mi and battery and brake light diming

Have the battery tested and the alternator tested, the other issue may have a code stored to help point in the right direction, at that many miles things are bound to wear out.

SOURCE: brake and battery lights stay on

when both lights stay on with the car running it usually indicates an alternator that is not charging at an acceptable voltage level. check the battery voltage with the car running, if it is under 13.5V you should replace your alternator.

SOURCE: brake light and stop brake light stay on after car is turned off. This is killing the battery. Tried changing the 15 amp breaker under sterrting column

Your brake light switch is eith stuck or gone bad.  It is located on the brake pedal and you can try to jiggle it to see if it will free itself and turn the lights off or you will need to replace it.  It's a pretty easy job and relatively inexpensive.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

Idles roughly, then low when stopped or in park, then dies. Decreasing gas mileage. Slow to accelerate

Sometimes that's caused by a vacuum leak near the manifold area.

Sometimes air in the coolant will cause an idle problem. Air will keep the air temp sensor from sending proper info.
Hope this helps.

Brake lights stay on after car turned off

There is a little stopper on the brake pedal that is missing you will need to get your VIN number and call your Honda dealer they should have it in stock. Put a little soap on it then snap in into the hole in the brake pedal where the stop light switch is. problem solved, good luck!

Take to service repair. The brake light indicator is something to deal with quickly. You could end in an accident and possible injuries.

1998 4Runner - rough idle, engine light on (blinking, at times), sometimes when I step on the brake it brakes quickly rather than to a slow stop

The first thing I would do is to go and get the service light checked out. You can go up to an auto parts store (Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, or O'Reilly's) and they can scan your truck's computer for the trouble codes. This can really help in shedding some light on why your engine is idling roughly, although sometimes a rough idle can be caused by little things like bad fuel or needing a tuneup. As far as your brakes go, it is a good thing that your brakes stop your truck quickly. It is when your brakes slowly stop your truck, you should start to worry. Just adjust how much pressure you apply to your brake pedal.

I have 84 911 and the brake lights sometimes stay stuck on after applying the brakes but not all the time. Any ideas?

be sure that the brake lever is coming up ALL the way. Sometimes even the slightest amount of pressure on the switch will activate the light. Also try a shot of WD-40 on the switch sliding pin.

My ABS light keeps coming on and off. Sometimes its rough pushing the brake down and it makes a wierd noise.

Sounds like one of the sensors at the tires is not working right. Its actually better if the light stays on. With it turning on and off will make it harder for you to stop cause the computer does not know what to do. Check brake fulid level. If it stays on you will have normal brakes. Have the sensors checked or replaced. ABS was design for panic stops so you don't lock up the tires an skid.
