i think 89-94 was obd1 and 95+ was obd2.
On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD, in an automotive context, is a generic term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since the introduction in the early 1980s of on-board vehicle computers, which made OBD possible. Early instances of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light, or MIL, if a problem were detected—but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized fast digital communications port to provide realtime data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

Onboard Diagnostics. Your 95 is probably OBD2 like mine. Just take it to Auto Zone and they will plug their handheld devie into the port (under steering wheel to left). It will give the error code(s). Have them clear/reset codes and maybe you will be fine.
When I changed plugs and wires I broke a vacuum line. I tried to start which immediately gave me a code (light on). I fixed the leak and had them reset/clear the code(s) and all is well
Let us know if it works for you.
