B16 cutting out at 5000RPM!!!

[Devist8]

I need help guys. I just bought a B16 hatch, and it was running great for like 3 days, and then last night all of the sudden when i shifted to second, and was going into 5000+ RPMs my gauges start bouncing around. The battery light turns on, and it starts spitting. If I ease into it at 50% throttle it doesn't do it. Im lost guys. Please Help

you should check your battery and alternator first at a local car parts store. don't jump into other igntion componbents like the distributor right off the bat otherwise it'll be expensive
