Assuming you have a stock 89 honda civic, code 20 is _not_ a valid code.

code 20 is valid and usually caused by alternator not working properly

Just out of curiosity, what kind of stereo system is installed in the car?
(too many amplifiers pulling too many amps? if so, get a higher amperage alternator.)

Check all your ground connections (engine, transmission, car body).
