welcome to the forum, you might start by looking under the hood at your wire looms( bundle) to see if any tape has started to burn. check under the dase from the fuse area and check the wire bundles the same with a mirror and a good light. If you think you are good at taking a exacto knife and cutting away the tape wrap, you might do this under the dash and check in various spots for wire burn. At the same time, you may have a main relay or ignition module ( distributor/coil) going bad.
