most auto part stores will Scan the computer .. for FREE... and tell you what the computer is complaining about..
and most likely its NOT the alternator... otherwise the Battery light would also be lit up.

He has a 93. If he takes it to a parts store and asks that, they'll look at him like he's from outer space (their readers cannot connect to an OBD 1 system).
All someone needs is a paper clip and the instructions to pull the codes from a 93. Google it.

A high-end scanner makes perfect sense for someone making a living turning a wrench.
For a po' boy like me, a paper clip is in my price range. I'll sacrifice my time and convenience for the difference.
