Default NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 1996 honda accord and my car is having major issues. about 2 nights ago i was going to get my copy of super smash brothers and it was late at night so i started driving and the whip was messing up so i parked it and rode with my friend. Then when we got back the car started to die as i was on my way home. It stopped a couple of blocks from my house and pushed it with some help there. i check the battery and i replaced it and 3 autoparts stores check my alternater.

Everytime it passed with flying colors so then i put it all back in and it died on me again the next day. So i took out the starter tested and it was fine so what would cause my car to die after i drive it for a little while, if it is not the battery, the alternater, or even the starter?
could it be a wiring harness problem

Stop double posting and post this question in the tech or accord forum, this has nothing to do with all motor forum. But I'll try to help you anyway. Get a voltage meter and check voltage with the car on, see how much the alternator is charging. If its not above 13 volts then your alternator is most likely bad or something else has a short and is drawing alot of power.
