I need the engine size and mileage. Also did it set a check engine light? Are you getting fuel/can you hear the fuel pump run? Let me know.

Some 95's have an ignition module is so replace it and some the spark is controlled by the processor. If that is the case the most likely culpret is the crank sensor. Good luck
