Not sure if your '91 has DI (Direct ignition) system but if it does, that could easily fail - certainly happened to me a couple of months ago. with identical symptoms. The units don't aways fade away over time in the classic manner, they can just work and then stop working as you describe.
If your battery turns the engine over I doubt if that's the problem.
But the fuel pump gets my vote (or guess, rather) and you can hear if it's working just by turning on the ignition and listening behind the rear seat back. Only thing is that in my experience these do get progressively noisier before they fail.
Good luck - Bill
