You start your engine, it kicks on sometimes gives a little trouble..

While driving at night if you notice your headlights flicker on and off along with your electrical lights in your dash and maybe stereo equipment.

Coming to a stop, then trying to take off and applying gas it will sputter and maybe stall on you..

Usually means your distributor is going out.
