Idleing problems and a few others -.-

[Kryptikronic]

I have a 97 talon 4wd. Bought it about a week ago in town.
The guy seemed to be a decent mechanic and knew his stuff.
I drove the car for awhile and one day it wouldn't start.
I'm getting fuel, getting spark, after awhile it will start.
Has some electrical problems, possibly a bad ground. No blinkers, brights dash light blinks once in awhile. Dash lights fluctuate brighter and dimmer while drivin.
It seems the car wants to idle anywhere from 800 to 2000 rpms
Whenever it wants. It runs and shifts great. New at this and need help,
Want to make this a awesome car. Help!

As for your lights fluctuating while driving and your car not starting one day after starting fine before, chances are your voltage regulator is bad in your alternator. It won't cause the alternator to stop working however it will cause you alternator to charge your battery without regulation. Thus killing your battery.
