Electrical Problems.... Need Help.
Well I have been having the hardest time trying to figure out what my problem is. I have a 98HB DX with a H22 in it for the past three years and I never had a problem like this. I haven't changed anything in the car as of recently to make me think that I might have switched something on accident. I don't drive the car very often so once in a while I have to charge the battery to get it started, but I have done this before and never had any problems. So I went and bought a new battery and the car starts and runs fine for a couple of hours. Start it the next day and she starts but the battery is low and shuts off, so I go to the local shop and run a charging diagnostics and they tell me that my alternator is bad. So I go buy a new alternator and everything is fine for a day and the next day the same problem. So I figured I'll check my fuses with a volt meter and all the fuses in the car and under the hood are fine. I figured maybe it's my main relay, go to the Honda dealer and pick one up and put it in jump start the car and it starts fine the 5min. later I am losing all power and the cars shuts off?? Same thing happens again. Please someone help me out, I am about to sell this car.
While the car is running place the DVOM on the battery terminals and read the voltage it should be above 13 V at idle and icnrease as you place more load on the engine.
