Check all your engine grounds and make sure they are tight. That's first thing to do. 3.3/3.8 there are some on the end of the front head and there is one down on the top starter bolt. Make sure the wiring harness on the back of the plenum isn't laying down on the exhaust manifold. Sometimes when people do tune ups on these they forget to bolt the harness back onto the plenum. Irinically that wiring has the alternator wiring in it. There's also an outside chance your regulator in your PCM is on the fritzz. Disregard that for now... There are other things it can be but this is a good place to start...the simple stuff
Dome light issue is probably unrelated.....
