I own a 1980 Toyota pickup, 5-speed, 2wd. While driving on the freeway today I noticed that my "charge" light was on. This was odd because I had replaced a bad alternator 500 miles ago. So, the light came on, then my oil light came on, I pulled off the feeway and the truck lost power. I am able to start the truck, but the engine will cut out if i don't keep rpm's above 2000. It goes into gear, drives (short trips around the block while doctoring the gas pedal (above 2000 rpm) Any advice would be appreciated.
 
id start with fuel filter and a bottle of fuel treatment or check exhaust
