Check the battery voltage at idle with a meter. Should be at least over 13 volts. Alternator may be getting worn out.
If memory serves me a '88 was a paper clip in the connector to read the check engine light codes by counting the blinks and pauses between blinks. That was a long time ago since I had my Blazer.
