You have an alternator problem.  Probably worn brushes.  You will soon have
a dead battery.

It started with the classic stumbling problem so I cleaned up the AFM and
installed a 22µF, 25v capacitor. No more stumbling at highway speeds, but
now it stumbles and dies when I first start it up until it warms up. I was
living with that and then on the way home tonight the OXS and alternator
lights came on and won't go off. What's more, when I start it up and rev to
2000 rpm I don't here the relay click I used to when the OXS and alt.
lights went off. Are these problems related? How do I get the lights off?
