I had same issue on my '95. Have the battery checked first but your alternator is likely going out.

I took mine to a dealer first and they claimed it was the battery. Sam's Club replaced the battery under warranty but said it was fine. The problem persisted. I finally took the alternator to a shop that specializes in troubleshooting and rebuilding. They claimed the bearings were shot and the voltage regulator was going bad.

I bought a rebuilt for about $80. If you can find a shop that specializes in rebuilding alternators and starters, it is probably ok. Otherwise, I would recommend buying a new Delco alternator. I have seen repeated issues with rebuilds from auto parts stores.

Go to an auto parts store. If you have an auto zone or advance auto parts, and I think o'riley's they will check your batter and your alternator for free. Along with engine codes.

Also check the belt.
