94 Diesel Estima Having to jump start vehicle it starts fine but as soon as you go to move it dies and while it's running and idling the dash warning lights that come on when you first turn they key on done turn off. Is this something to do with ignition?

Crook alternator probably, it usually causes the battery light plus several others to stay on when its no longer charging, the battery must be pretty flat by now if its stalling. You are going to have to get help from an auto sparky. Check the drive belt to make sure its not broken or slipping first but usually if that happens on diesel steamers it will also lose power steering.

Would it do basically the same thing with a dead battery Franc?

very rarely would a dead battery cause the alternator warning light to stay on. It would have to have a pretty serious internal fault

ok how much do you know poster 1 do you know there is most probably just 1 power wire to make your diesel engine stop ? You need to discribe in much better detail what you are doing and what it is doing like what do you mean ignition? do you mean the ignition key barrel circuit? and yes i wont rule that out as a problem for your symptom discription.

1. I jump start vehicle, it starts fine.
2. I have to give it some revs while removing jumper leads because if I don't it will die pretty quickly.
3. With vehicle still running and jumper leads removed all the warning lights on the dash that usually only stay on when key is in the "on" position remain on.
4. I put vehicle into drive and if I don't rev it enough it will die.
That's the best I can do.

you need to test the battery for faults and if it is ok fully charge it up and then move on to next thing like is the alternator charging correct or not

No it is not that's why the light is on. ! If op wants to check it themselves. The big bolt on wire on the alternator should have battery voltage. If not replace blowen fusible link. If it does remove two pin plug from alternator and check for power with ign on also check for a lower voltage on other pin if ok remove & fix or replace alternator.
