Is the car running and is it running OK? The reason I ask is because normally with a prom error the engine won't run right. You can't just replace the prom in a 94/95 car, it is soldered in the PCM. You would have to replace the PCM.

????Here is a list of funny things that happen resent......would not crank
thought something was wrong with chip on key (wet)...wait 20min.
and blew key off car crank.....the ck engine light comes on frequently
sometimes car mysteriouly down shifts ......but overall no down right " won't run right".....I suspect I'v gotten use to a bad running engine and I'm finding it hard to detect problems!!
