Absolutely ... first thing ya need to check is the alternator. (or other belt driven accesories (such as air pump). If you have separate belts for each of em, try them separately. Most likey alternator though.

As for hissing, go check for vaccuum leaks. now. A tiny vacuum can make a car not start, not idle, or have no power. If you can hook it up to a smoke machine. Otherwise you can listen for it, spray some carb/choke cleaner around your vaccuum lines (i've heard that your engine will bog or rev when the cleaner gets on the leak), or simply listen for it. Look for round lines that have popped of connector, broken lines, or cracked ones. In an '89 their could be a lot of em though....so keep looking
