Ron,

The Check Engine light on our 95 Gen II Sports is on the far left side of
the dash, right under the 0 on the Tach. It will only light up for a second
or two but it should light up! I found out it wasn't when I was trying to
pull the codes and couldn't!!! So, I believe if there is no check engine
light then it's gotta be the computer!

I'm no mechanic but I play one here at home...........
