Try disconnecting the battery cables and give everything a good cleaning. How old is the battery?

Thanks Mickey1: I think you might be onto something here, i noticed the other day that my battery is somewhat pregnant at both ends. Does that seem normal to you...:shakehead

Fuel & ignition systems are both electronic. If the voltage drops low enough the engine will stall. Put a voltmeter on the battery & see how low the volts drop when you use the windows.
