That's an old vehicle , I'd scan for codes , for that year they probably come off the dash and I don't know how . You'll need a multi tester at any rate to do some simple probing and testing .

Test battery voltage and voltage at the main fuse block. Will the vehicle jump start? Just sold my '99. Had to replace the main computer module a couple of years ago. Didn't act like yours, just died.
