We left  off with plan to check all my Voltage Regulators for voltage, 
across the  battery. None of them reached the 14.00 volt range.  Highest reading 
was  11.53 volts.  That one remains in the  car.





This is too low of voltage for the FI system. Like I mentioned in 1 of my  
previous posts, I was reading less than 13.6 volts, and had a stumble. After 
 replacing it with a new Voltage Regular, it fixed the issue.
 
Your 11.53 reading is also too low for a carbed car, as they need at least  
12 volts to keep the battery charged. I think if it drops a little more 
than  that, it'll turn the light on. Put the voltmeter on the battery with the  
engine off, and see what it reads. Let us know.
