Agree, pull the codes if the check engine light is on. One good trick to determine if a no start is fuel or spark related is this: Spray about a 2 second burst of starting fluid into the air intake at the throttle body and then try to start. If it tries to start or even runs for a second or two, then you have a fuel delivery issue. If not then you most likely have a spark issue. If it is spark related based on what you have said about how it died, I would suspect a weak or dead coil. Just my .02

And your scanner is capable of reading a 1998?

What's the fuel pressure? Low or no fuel pressure will not set any codes on a 1998. Cracked solder joints in the fuel pump relay is common.

Do you have spark at the coil?

Power relay 2/32 provides power through fuse 11b/3 to the coil and the fuel system relay. Do you have power at fuses 11b/2, 3 and 5 with the key turned on? And 12v on one side of the coil?
