I cant tell if my alternator is bad or if it just the battery, My alternator is only a year old but my battery is about three. I can pop start or jump start the car but then after driving it for about 5-10 miles the car dies. This is the second time I have had this problem last time I replaced the alterantor and now I just dont know what to do.

Please help

 

Sounds like the alternator cannot keep your car going.

 

i agree sounds like your alternator, take it off and bring it to autozone and get it checked

 

take the battery with you to get checked too. Why waste a trip when you could test 'em both at once?

 

it's the alternator but there could be a short somewhere that is killing your alternator in the process.

 

dont need to take off the alternator, just drive it to autozone they can check both the batery nd the alternator while they are on the car, and its free

and btw autozone sells aftermarket performance parts for honda's too

 

All they do is go through a summit, jc whitney, etc magazine and charge extra so they can make money, or go online and order it offline, that's how a lot of performance part shop works.

 

I had the battery tested and it was bad so i replaced it, hooked it up started the car, unhoocked the batery and the car stayed running. Drove the car for a few days and not it is not working again.

 

it is you alternator like everyone already told you, all you did by only replacing the battery is kill another one.

 

no doubt it is the alternator then..
