Before you pull the pan, pull the engine codes. I think the 95's have the LED light - at least see if you can get the base codes (use search function on this site).

Odds are that either your wiring harness is history, or your ignition control module bit the dust, and your engine was running in limp mode (sound like a 4 banger, did it?)

If you're lucky, it's just the harness. Also, check and either clean or replace your rotors and caps (if still so equipped).


Again...before loosening bolts, check the trouble codes! If you get a schload of them, it's probably the harness.

Good Luck!
