I'm having problems with my daily driver, 94 civic. When the car is cold or left over night its easy to start but seems a bit weaker than usual. After its warmed up it won't fire up, it cranks slow to a point where it won't crank at all. If I let it sit for 10 minutes it'll fire up but if i turn it off right away and try again D'd have to wait about 10 minues again. It seems like the battery is weak but it puts out 12v and when it does run the alternator puts out 14v. Also when it won't fire the radio,cluster, clock don't work either and idles like crap like it's gonna die. I've cleaned the tranny ground, thermostat and valve cover ground also. I've also tried 2 other batteries, I'm stumped

it could also be the idle itself... so check vacuum hoses and such
