bad idel

as it says my car has been acting a lil weird. it runs fine seems a lil sluggish but when im at a stop the cars rpms drops and rises somtimes coming close to dieing. my guess was ym idel air control valve but wouldnt my enigine light be coming on? also when im stoped and it doest this my lights dim on the dash and headlight also, i figured it was just because of the idel droping and but maybe it is a charging sistem
