Welcome to the forum.
On a 97 it's a little harder to pull codes as it does not have a odometer window to read off of.
So you have to count the light flashes. Doing the key dance trick, on/off 3 times and on the 3rd time you leave the key on (you're not starting the engine here), should get the PCM to spit the codes out at you. In theory.
The other method is to take it to the autoparts store and have them read the codes for you, write them down, and get to googling.
