Default Electrical problem 94 accord

Good night fellas,
i have ANOTHER question for you,
4 days ago my car's battery indicator was on, and the car would die, i changed the diodes plate in the alt, now i have another problem, the light is gone, but here is the problem,
the car starts fine, i can drive it for like 10 minutes with no issues, but after a while, my tach and speedo goes to zero, then the wipers and lights go down, the car even dies, no power windows, no acceleration, dead,
but if the car sits for 15 minutes, starts back up,
runs, and everything works, dim lights and slow power windows, but it runs,
and the cycle starts again, driving a few minutes and same story.,

what do you think might be causing this problem?
is very dangerous, 20 minutes ago it died in a bad area of my city, and i was with my child and wife,

thank you

Verify with an accurate volt meter that Your cars charging system is >14.1 volts at idle with the lights on. If not, it has to be corrected. Many weird thing can happen when the ECU gets lower than 10v like relay shutter and fuel pump issues too.
Dim lights and slow windows are a real indicator of low voltage.
good luck
