That is only based on the description of the issue as I read it.
The fuse above the starter functions as I could not start the car until I replaced it (fuse was blown when I got it). Have not had a problem with it since.

The car doesn't stall but sputters and clearly doesn't want to run correctly when the headlights are on. I will hopefully get to look at it this weekend and take some of these suggestions.
