Coincidently, the battery on my '96 started acting up yesterday. Today I
had to carry the portable jump starter with me. I knew the alternator
was working and the battery is two years old but with only 12k on it. I
checked the water in it and sure enough two of the cells were down to
the top of the plates. I put distilled water in it, got it started and
went for a drive. Battery is holding charge fine now. Something else to
keep an eye on with the battery. And yes when the battery is just a
little down the computer will start acting up.

If you have a way to clean and charge the battery, that would be my
first guess. Dying batterys make computers do all sort of weird things.
You may have more than one issue here, but I would resolve the battery
thing first.
