Default 88 Honda Civic error 20

i have a Honda civic 88 automatic that gives a error code 20. i already tried replacing the main fuse box. the voltages are around were it should be(usually a volt less then it should be) but when i change the high/low beams on the car starts to die. while the beams are off the car runs but still lacks power on take off. i have similar symptoms like

(my car isn't flooding.) when i go the speed i need it at, it could stay there, but still have problems with the beams. also had a speed sensor error code 17 for awhile, got these codes when i went 50 miles. Please help asap!!!!!I'm ready to strap a couple pounds of c4 to it and blow this car up.

the alternator puts out 12 volts so it shouldn't be that.
