Battery charging issues
I have a 1997 Civic DX. When the car is running the volt meter I have show only 12.8 volts. When all lights , heater, rear defrost, and wipers are on it goes down to around 11.9-12.2 volts. I changed the altenator. Changed the fuse box to replace the load sensor. It still has the problem. Any ideas?

See how much give, if we're talking give to the point that it's slipping...then it's not gonna turn and charge like it should. Maybe tighten it a bit.

2nd vote for check that VSS/ALT fuse. I think it's #15 if memory serves.
Had the same problem with my wife's 98 LX. Ended up being a wire in a harness way up under the intake mani that had rubbed so long that the insulation was gone and was shorting to ground, blowing that fuse every time. A little heat shrink and taping the harness up to keep it from rubbing and we were good to go.
