    A bunch, testing fuses would be a good start, a test light at the least, meter would be best.
    Ignition switch, many things.
    How are you with a meter?

    . Check for codes.

    . Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    . Check/replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM), which is located on the side of the distributor. It wouldn't surprise me if it's bad.

    Have it tested on a Well's machine at AutoZone. My experience has been if it tests bad on a Wells, then it is really bad. However, if it tests fine, it may still be bad. Instead, I recommend replacing ICMs every 125,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
