honda eld?

sounds like it. the car is prolly only allowing the alt to charge to 12v until voltage starts to drop. n external regulator should fix this i would call dc an calmly talk to them about this and ask if they had heard of the eld problem on your model specifically and what the woulld do to remedy to problem. getting mad and yelling at them wont get u answers itll just mean they will hang up on you and you will be the next person on here saying dc sux dont buy from them yadda yadda yadda. i had this problem with my cruze and had to get an external regulator i didnt know this and neither did my alt guy my car had been out for 2 months when i commissioned a ho alt to be built. we found out the hard way that the factory voltage control sux. dc is normally busy as hell and prolly overlooked your issue when you ordered from them .

I have the same car and dont have this issue. and the same alt from DC power. well mine is the 220a. i turn my headlights on or my ac on and bam its all good. they'll work with you on this one for sure. when i called them about an issue i had they took care of me and explained exactly how to fix the issue and voila.

Or get a p06 or a p28 ecu and a jumper harness from obd2a to obd1 eld goes bye bye forever
