Bad alternator?

Bad alternator?
Since I had my new clutch installed, my evo has been acting up. When I turn the car on, and then turn the headlights on, my RPMs will drop and the "Service Engine Soon" light comes up. After a few times of On/Off it stops but it happens every other time I turn on the car.
I'm thinking it might be a bad alternator but I'm not sure, any suggestions?

I think when the alternator goes bad, the brake light and battery light will come on together. At least they did on my car, and I've seen it on other evos. I'd pull the code and see what your SES light is for.

I could have told you the alternator wasn't bad with out you even getting it checked. If that goes bad you won't even be able to drive anywhere. your car will keep dying and need to be jumped. I've had two bad alternators on my old truck.
Idk what your problem could be.. If it happened right after your clutch install there is a place to start. You could go look at everything that was messed with.
