It could be the Opti-spark distributer is going. This is the one weak
link in the ignition system. They are expect to fail around 100K
miles. If not 100K then by 120K for sure. Do a google on Opti-spark,
lots out there on it.
If you have it changed out, replace the water pump as well. Once it
goes, it can take the Opti with it.
The other person was right about OBD I. The 1995 was the last year
for OBD I. But for some reason, GM stuck in the OBD II socket under
the dash. Its worth going to the dealer to scan the codes.
Good luck, post back when you have the bug nailed down.
