s14, s13sr20det, basic mods; fmic, 3 inch exhaust, coilovers, electric fans, boost gauge. just a btw.

so i went to go drive the car when all the sudden out of the blue the tach started to freak out, along with everylight in the car (gauge cluster boost gauge, radio) and my headlights and taillights all flickered and with the flickering my engine sputters as well. but only when im driving it...when the car is still and idling it is perfect..

i have no idean what can control all of these things..
i have checked my battery terminals and that was fine, and my wire harness isnt rubbed through at all.. so if someone can help? has this happened to anyone before?

ive read that it could be an alternator that idk how it could be that cause when the cars not in motion it is completely fine. i also checked my fuse box and all my relays checked out good as well.

anyone have any ideas?
