I have some electrical problem in my car. The battery won't stay charged to 100%. When the charge in the battery drops I have drivability issues, its almost like my EGR is clogged(jsut cleaned last week) or the clutch is slipping. But when I charge the batt and drive the car runs fine, it also levels out my idle. I have seen posts on changing 3 big ground wires when upgrading ALt. I would like to try this to see if it helps. I saw a ground wire kit on ebay but I don't think that is what I need. I checked the alt with a voltmeter and it reads 14.7 @ idle. I am going to get a yellow top but that won't fix this prob. I have no major electrical stuff ie no amp, the only thing that mught be is an alarm or I have 9006 60 watt low beams, but I don't drive much at night.

I was talking to a friend who was having the same problem, and wondering if you could take a multimeter to the fuse boxes while the car is off to check for power where there shouldn't be.
Maybe that's stupid
, but electrical gremlins are tough to track.

14.7? thats a bit high...good alternator is 13.5 to 14...
perhaps ur battery is on the frits being overcharged and just dying...you can get that tested.
if u charge ur battery urself and the voltage goes over 15 volts you got a bad battery. have ur electrical system checked...i mean if its 14.7 at idle that may be ok...but if u shut the car down and let it sit for a while and the battery voltage is below 11.8 or something then ur battery is bad.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

Hondas have Electronic Load Detectors (ELD). I don't know enough about it's function to say too much, but It's one of the things some people disable on their tuned ECUs, and I think it stops the alternator from overcharging. There's a fuse and a CEL code for this though, so it's probably not your problem, just thought I'd mention.
