Here are some possible causes for your 1991 Stealth base model not starting and the check engine light only coming on intermittently in the ACC position:

- Faulty ignition switch or cylinder: The ignition switch or cylinder may not be making good contact, causing intermittent electrical connections.

- Faulty starter motor: The starter motor may be failing, causing it to not engage properly when you turn the key.

- Bad battery connection: Check the battery terminals and connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Loose or corroded connections can cause intermittent electrical issues.

- Faulty Engine Control Unit (ECU): The ECU is responsible for controlling the engine and its various components. A faulty ECU can cause intermittent engine starting issues.

- Bad or loose ground connection: Check the ground connections from the battery to the chassis and engine. Loose or corroded ground connections can cause electrical issues.

- Faulty wiring or electrical connections: Check the wiring harness and electrical connections for any damage, corrosion, or loose connections.

To properly diagnose the issue, it is recommended to have a qualified mechanic inspect the vehicle and perform necessary tests to determine the exact cause of the problem.
