Second the tune...also might be a crossed plug wire. Very easy to do and very easy to check.

Re: miss fire or some thing

Scan it for codes,check the fuel pressure,double check the plug wires,make sure they are on the correct terminal..Are you sure the valves are adjusted correctly?

What scanner did you use? A lot of people see the 16-pin OBD-II style ALDL connector, and assume they are reading an OBD-II PCM. But the 95 is an OBD-I PCM, and you need to use an OBD-I scanner, with the correct adapter plug, or use jumper wires, as Shoebox shows:

That would explain why it didn't "read".
