On any car that is 1996 or newer after a repair is made you must hook up a obd2 scanner or code reader to your cars computer and clear the trouble codes some auto part stores can do this at no charge. Autozone is 1 place that will do it for free. if you dont have a place near you . It can be done by unhooking the battery for a few minutes but clearing the codes with a scanner is best. If after having that done the light returns there is still a problem

My truck turns off when i get to a stop light

The battery light comes on because the engine is stalling. Fix the engine problem and the battery light will stay off. Vacuum leaks are common problems on very old vehicles like this. Check for vacuum hoses for cracks and splits and replace the damaged ones.

Just had the air intake manifold replaced. now on our way home the check engine light came on. now a few days later my fiance came home saying it wont stay idle. i go and turned the car on and the enging...

sounds like it may be a leaking intake since you just had it replaced...or god forbid the gaskets were put on upsidedown/backwards. Might also be that somthing, (emission hose,vent hose,electrical connector did not get hooked up or hooked correctly.
