i have a 92 accord LX i havent checked the voltage yet but i replaced the altenator twice and the battery 3 times already. and still have the same problem. i start the car, runs fine for awhile, then lights/gauges flicker and car dies out and wont start then i replace the battery and it does it all over ahain.. im guessing its in the wiring or rely...but i want more suggestions before i go ripping through it.
thanks in advance

 

anybody?

 

maybe the wiring from the alternator to the battery...somthings keeping it from charging the battery...

 

could also be a bad ground or something, any luck figuring it out yet?

 

hmmm...well started to check grounds...relys, and fuses...all good...battery is only running at 11volts when car is on...started to go thru the grounds...but all seem good...waiting for my freind to bring me my power probe...
thanks for your help guys on where to start...
more help is also appreciated greatly!...

 

get the alternator checked at the local auto parts store. If you havn't already anyhow!

altenator is brand new...but it could be defected....

 

Since you replaced it twice, I'd bet not.

Keep looking for bad grounds or bad (+) electrical connections SOMEWHERE.

 

i got a leaky valve cover and oil everywhere...i got oil everwhere.....would oil cause that kind of problem...if it got in the electrical connection of the alt..or oil on the altenator it self?

 

Yup. any liquid on electrical connections is bad.
