still low voltage problem

o.k. this problem is getting wierder--I've cleaned every ground and connection I can find (86 gtv6) when the car is cold it has plenty of power and I can turn on /off electrical accesorys and they work just fine -but when it heats up even before the cooling fans kick on it goes to about 1/4 of the throttle and then it starts to bog down?? if I turn on the heater fan or use the windows it loses power completely--the battery and the altenator seem to be fine I get over 14 v coming off the altenator tho I haven't been able to check how many amps it's putting out----- what does the computer/relays? do that uses power when the engine heats up.if I go downhill for long enough when it's acting up and it cools sufficiently it goes like arocket again. anyone got any ideas?
