random dying problems (1989 n/a)

well the other day, i ran a diagnostic, and the engine light blinked constantly. i was told that means there are no problems evident, but i know for a fact that there are many problems with the car..

at work today i tried to start up the car without giving it enough gas and it died right away, i guess that's the only thing i can see that's wrong with the car. i also checked under the hood and saw the radiator was dented pretty bad (some stuff down in the engine bay were crushed together when the last idiot owner went over a dip and bent up the front end).. could this have any effect on the problem? b/c i'm not have any overheating issues, it's just starting up, and the occasional stall on the road

any feedback is greatly appreciated..i can't afford to pay a mechanic right now :[
