hey maybe check your belts out because they turn the alternator. i had the exact same problem on one of my cars. After a bunch of different mechanics it turned out that i had the wrong size belt.

do you have an msd ignition box? they tend to intermitently fail. maybe try using a honda dist. cap too. you just can't trust msd stuff to be reliable.
