do the lights flicker?

could be a myriad of problems, start simple.

get the battery checked out, clean all terminals, check for burned or cut wires around the terminal.

check the starter/alternator

I agree with deuce, check out battery, connectors that connect to the solenoid, starter, and distributor.
