Cutting out problems
My general advice for problems of this nature on older cars (15 years/100k miles or more)
Change the Dist cap, Overload Protection relay, voltage regulator on alternator and A/c relay (and keep changing them every 15 years)
Total cost around $200. Peace of mind? Invaluable! If you still need diagnostics after this, you're pretty unlucky!
BTW the ABS light on the dash is often a classic case of low voltage, (lazy diode/bad regulator in Alternator)
