alternator
I have changed my alternator 2 times in the last month. Original went bad, so I changed it. This one came out with a bad regulator. Now this one just decided to quit charging yesterday. It is really starting to **** me off, although I am really good at doing it now. 
Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? I am beginning to wonder if something is causing this to happen.

Re: alternator (G2LSS)
sounds like you just got a few bad ones, where are you getting it from. Try the dealership you can allways trust them. As to it being something on your car making them go out , theres nothing i could think of. Sorry i couldnt be of more help.

Re: alternator (G2LSS)
Problem might be where you bought your alternator.
On G2IC board someone mentioned that Acura 's alternator spins opposite direction of other car's
alternator. If you were to put aftermarket on, there is a chance you ran into alternator that spins the wrong way.
Well, it will work for a while then will destroy itself b/c of heat.
Hope you still have original alternator.
If you do, take it to alternator shop and have it rebuild.

Re: alternator (96IntegraLS4DR)
If you buy a Denso alternator made for the car there shouldn't be any problems from it spinning the wrong way. I found a website, Alternator Starter Express that sells remanufactured alternators and starters for many cars. I found one for a G3 Integra for $120 with 3 year warranty. If my alternator ever dies I'll probably buy one from there. I have a spare alternator that I tried to get apart to replace the bearings, but I never could get it apart all the way and ended up destroying the shaft where the pulley attaches to. 
Oh well, the one I have seems to be doing well now that I made the belt tension not so darn tight. 
A 91 LS alternator is $105.
