Default Help! Electrical problem?

ok so here is the issue with my 94 civic EX w/ a d16z6.

the last few nights i been driving i notice that my car all of a sudden just starts to lose power... as in my lights will dim and the car will get slower and slower which means no acceleration no matter the gear.

so luckily every place i have been going to has had a battery charger cuz it seems that the altinator is not doing its job as in recharging the battery while the car is in use.

so today i removed my altinator and took it to get tested to see if it was working and some how it passed the test.

so idk what it could be. what else could cause my car to run off only the battery with the altinator "doing its job"? any help or advice would be appreciated.

When you say it looses power, do you keep your foot on the gas and there is nothing there, no power? Sounds like what I'm going through right now, bad TPS for me. I'm experiencing the loss of power thing too. By post is below if you want to read it.

You may want to look into (search) on the topic "bad tps". It might be your TPS as well.
