Hmm.. A junk battery makes it hard for your alternator to charge. Thus makes it hard for your car to stay running. I'd check that battery first. Although, I have replaced a lot alternators in those Accords. If you do end up replacing the alternator too, make sure you tighten that lower bolt. It can be a real pain in the butt to drill out. Last time I had to do it, I charged an arm and two legs to remove that bolt.
