Take car to where the alt was purchased and ask them to do a alt ck. They can tell if the alt is bad from stock.

you need a stock alternater hondas are very picky when it comes to them. you also could have had the stock alternater refurbished, you didn't give it to those inexperienced idiots at advanced auto did you ???
