93 sport
I had an electrical problem a couple of weeks ago, I thought minor, but it turns out I rode to work with my girl today. I lost power a couple times, both times when I used the power windows both at the same time. Also, when the truck sits over night or all day at work, it will start fine then start to act like it had clogged fuel injectors or something, start dying, give it gas and all is well runs great. This morning it does the same thing and I wasn't paying attention and it cut off. Tried to restart and it was completely black. Bearly got power to the idiot lights at full key turn. Battery tests at 12.4 Vdc, power dist box fuse (the big one) is good, but didn't have the opportunity to check the litttle fuses under the dash. Unless you guys can figure it out before thins weekend I will have to take it somewhere and get them to check it out. By the way, it is a 93 sport. with 132,000 miles. Any help is greatly appreciated.

even a dead battery will give you 12.4volt with no load,unless it is internally shorted, then you see less.
turn on the head lights, are they bright, do you still have 12volts with the head lights on?
I think it is your alternator is not charging up your battery. In anycase, check your battery under load or get some one to give you a boost, see if it starts.
