Had the same problem myself... charge light came on at high rpm, but
off at lower rpm. Turns out that the AE86 monitors for over-voltage as
well as under-voltage. Cause was a bad diode in the rectifier section
allowing AC to leak thru into the DC section.

I think you test by using a multimeter set to AC to read the battery
voltage when the engine is running. If you see AC voltage that is the
problem... but pay you to check that is the correct test before you take
a chance with an expensive meter :-P
