2011 accord 8th Gen not holding charge
Hello I hope I’m able to get some answers/ opinions here
so I recently had my clutch and flywheel done
however the shop I took it too was giving me the run around with no updates or anything
a week went by and they were still not done with it so I ended up taking it out
so here’s my dilemma
My car wouldn’t start but it would only crank
I was able to get it to start but I had a code
(crank positioning sensor)
I switched that out and then it wouldn’t rev pass 3k rpm
so I ended up checking the wires and that was the issue
now I’m not holding charge
I replaced alternator 2 times
and swapped in a brand new battery still had that issue
so I changed out the eld (electronic load detector) it still looses charge
as in I turn my headlights on with ac and my radio shuts off
or any accessory I turn on it drains the charge
(headlights,4way flashers etc)
the eld I got was from the junkyard I tried about 3 of them and it didn’t work I also swapped out some under hood relays (the long ones)
still nothing
I need some help before I decided to pay Honda or someone to check it out
I need it done asap as I need to work out of state

You have a lot going on with this accord, so I have a few questions about when your accord had issues.
Was the car behaving properly before the clutch was replaced? Or did the problems start after some incident (like another repair or accident)?
How did the wiring get messed up on your accord cpk sensor?

Car was running with no issues at all before getting clutch done
the only issue was the clutch itself
but those people at the shop had no idea what they were doing and giving me the run around
then I took it to another mechanic who changed the alternator

You'll need to do some basic electrical troubleshooting. I'd pay close attention to where you found the wiring damage to the cpk sensor to see if something is obvious.
For the simple stuff. If you have a test light, hook the clip to battery +. Touch the light side to various bare metal parts, like the frame, engine, transmission to see if you are missing a ground.
