Battery light problem 180,000 miles

ok, I just changed my spark plug wires, and did a few other things, but here is the problem still,

it still has a tough time starting, but when I do get it started the battery light stays on, the check engine light is still on, I got the car running ok, but after a while it starts to loose power, it gains power then loosed power. What is wrong please help!

Typically a battery lights boils down to an alternater problem, not always of course.

You need to pull codes to find the check engine light reason for illumination.

Check fuel pressure when the performance problem happens.

Maybe all three are related, maybe not. Concentrate on one at a time, with the possibility of a relationship of the other symptoms. I'd start by getting the codes from the pcm and seeing what it's seeing.
