Hi Jamie:
Since it starts I'd guess that the ignition system is OK. Maybe not great, but it's probably not the primary problem.
- That leaves fuel as the major suspect. I'd try a dose of spry type carb cleaner and make sure that the fuel filter is not obstructed.
The vehicle is over 25 years old so maintenance history is important, and at that age (and mileage) you can expect that components will be getting to the end of their service life.
One consolation of owning an older vehicle is that you can always find a project to work on.
Cheers.

Sounds like you have a bad battery. Dubble check the wire connection and harness to the alternator.
If the battery has less then 10.5 Volts the ECM shuts down the Engine and your Fuel pump doen't have enough power to sustain the right fuel pressure.
Good luck and hope this helps.

you may not have enough fuel pressure , If it's not the the fuel fiter(under driverside cab on the frame) it may be the fuel pump. ( In the tank)

You could have a problem with the wiring to the blower motor. My mom has a 2006 Tahoe that would only blow out any air when it wanted to. Turns out, some how a wire going to the motor popped out and was grounding itself on another wire. If I were you I would take it in to have it looked at before spending the money on buying a new blower motor.

You will have to have the dealer reset the security light to restart vehicle.Check all engine and chassie grounds because this is where the lighting would exit the vehicle.It sounds like a ground burnt through.

check injectors,take your intake-plenum off you will see your fuel injectors. use an ohm meter attach to the injectors .you need 12 ohms on all injectors to be good .hope this helps
