[Peugeot-L] 84 XN6 GL flickering lights

        My 84 XN6 wagon has interior lights that, often, seem to flicker. I changed the rheostat and the flickering continues (it is unlikely that two rheostats will have identical problems). The alternator checks out at 14+ volts and the car never seems to experience any problems starting. I think the flickering is instrument only as the headlights seem okay. I have not checked out the alternator charge when the lights flicker because when this happens I am usually hurtling down the freeway at 80 mph.

        The other problem that I note is that, under light pedal pressure, the car seems to falter and hesitate as if it is starved for fuel. I have an identical XN6 sedan that, under similar light foot pressure, does not do this. The car idles well, the valves are properly adjusted. The hesitation makes it a drag to drive.

        Might the flickering be due to some sort of electrical problem that also accounts for the faltering under light load? Could I have asked a more convoluted, confusing question? Will the Cheerios kid save the maiden?
Thanks,
Ken
