So I just got this new civic and I tried to start it on friday and the battery appeared to die! I had to wait until I got jumpers and I did today and jumped it tonite and the car started right up but I noticed when I was driving it the heater would slow down when the car was in idle and increase when the car RPM's were higher.. I also noticed that the headlamps would do the same thing, idle the light would dimm alot and when the RPM's increased the lights would get brighter!
the tricky part, I turned it off and tried to start it right away and it wouldnt start just a rapid click noise!

Instinct tells me altenator but the battery could possibly do this too.

What do you guys think?

Altenator or battery??

altenator is working since you increase in power as the rpms go up.
