How dirty is the throttle body?

This would be a great time to buy a test light it is not expensive and is a simple great tool to diagnose electrical problems don't get the cheapest one but like otc or lisle they are around 20 bucks on amazon

THanks for all the input! really appreciate it. and certainly gives me some direction and items to look at.
I went to Autozone to pull codes. there were none. he checked the battery and alternator. alternator = GOOD, battery = BAD. I replaced the battery right then and there with a Duralast Gold.
I have had zero issues with the fuel pump in terms of lagging, or engine bogging down. but if the issue persists, I will certainly take into consideration.
Also learned that the lights that came on, will always come on when the key in ACC position and the engine is off. so those lights, had nothing to do with the problem.
