Unhappy Headlight on = engine stutter

Hello,
I have a Honda Civic 99 sedan.
There is a strange occurrence in the vehicle, if the headlights are turned on (no matter if it is daylight or high) and i start to drive from a stand position the engine starts to stutter( feels like power loss for a short time) for a short time until the vehicle accelerates, and then it works normally until the car stops again and starts to move from stand position. (Important note: If i starting to moving from the standing position with a very gentle push on the gas pedal the phenomenon does not exist).
in summery: If the lights are off then everything works properly, when the headlight turned on then the vehicle stutters only from standing position.
What I have tried to do so far:
- Replace plugs
- Replace ignition wires
- Check that the alternator charges the battery by checking the voltage while the vehicle is running
- I removed the fuse from the rear lights Did not affect anything
- I removed the front fuse The motor worked properly
- i checked the ground connection in the engine bay
- the rpm gauge at the time of this phenomenon is not doping or going crazy

i don't know what to do, next i need your help guys.

Re: Headlight on = engine stutter

I suggest that you look at the alternator and grounds. Make sure alternator bracket bolts are tight and make good contact with chassis.
