Greetings, im a not so proud owner anymore,
of a 92 cavalier 5spd 2.8 f1 multiport.
done changed the ecu, motor itself also,
checked all leads, grounds but still no dice,
my problem is the next, while the car is on
(no matter if driving or not) the battery light will flash,
every flash alters the engine torque, headlights if on will intensify,
wipers if on will speed up, fan if on will blow higher,
radio if on will pop,
at a complete headach, since no one has found faulty anything, or
diagnosed correctly, alternator outputs no less than 13, no higher
than 14, battery brand new, scanner never gets any code other than 12
please, please,
help, completely lost. __

I think you need to be checking for ground problems. Check body grounds, check the main ground from the battery to the engine block, and make sure the battery cable is good.

The only other thing I can think of is the voltage regulator. I realize you checked output, but did it have the symptoms when testing? Also, did you check the fuseable link?
