I switched the old alternator out for a high-output (200amp) one and most of the problems went away, the old one was janky and died out extremely fast!

Flickering lights....
New to these forums and can’t locate problem.
So I have a brand new alternator and battery, got them 2 days ago. When I start the car, my lights flicker for a bit and stop, but come back every now and then, the car stays above 1000rpms when in park, and stays high/fluctuates when in any other gear (not moving, just in the gear). When I turn on brights in park the rpms shoot down pretty low and it sounds like the engine is struggling. Is the alternator just not strong enough or maybe poor connections....? I really love my eclipse and hate when it has troubles
Oh..and I did scan it and it said code P1500 but I have brand new alternator and no check engine light on.
