Hello and thank you for your help.

I own a 92 G.C. with a 3.3. Today for some strange reason she did not want to start. I can turn the ignition switch to the start point and then i lose all power, no dash light or dome light or headlights. I checked battery voltage at the battery and it was 12.7 volts. When I had somone turn the key to try to start it i still had 12.7 volts at the battery. When I check battery voltage at the starter it had 12.7 volts. When I had someone turn the key the voltsdropped to 1.22 volts. I should mention I hear the starter bendix engage but when it does everything in van goes dead. Please help

Bad battery it sounds like. Try jump starting it. Most of the time a reading at the battery will be 13.7 - 14.6 when it is fully charged.

Sounds like there is a lot of resistance. Check your grounds and make sure they are not corroded or dirty.
