Sounds to me the engine went into limp mode. If the engine computer senses any arcing or misfire it will go into limp. Check your plug wires and make sure none are lose, also check the distributor (I think the 95 had a distributor) and make sure there is no moisture in the cap. Bad gas could have clogged the filter. Have you replaced the harness on that engine yet? If not it is something you will need to do. Good luck!
