so i have a 2000 civic coupe d16y7 with y8 head with a stage 2 cam, arp head studs, and the rest stock, been turbo for almost a month and about 3-4 days ago i noticed my cluster lights got dimmer, and then the next day i pulled up to y house and it died. and would crank. so i thought it was my battery, changed that started right up, and i turned it off and back on to be sure, an each time i did it, it got slower until it would just click. so i changed the alternator, and the same thing happened. so then i took off the grounds, tranny, power steering, vale cover, battery and thermostat, and still does the same thing. i was just told it could be mt tps sensor, could that be my problems?

TPS wouldn't drain a battery...

Check your wiring harness, ELD, etc. If you replaced the alternator and the battery still died then either you forgot to hook something up when you replaced it or more likely there's an ELD problem that is preventing the alternator from charging.

Or parasitic drag somewhere.

Nothing would cause that much drain that fast, especially with a functioning alternator.

Eld?

Also check your charging wire between the alternator and the positive battery post. Poor connections at either end or damage/corrosion to the wire can cause what you have described.
