If the opti you bought was anything but a GM, Delco, or Delphi, it's junk. Even with oem reman optis, people get bad one's right out of the box.

It would also be a good idea to put car on an obd 1 scanner to read codes. Yes, even though your 95 has the 16 pin obd 2 type aldl, the computer system is obd 1. Paperclip trick to read codes doesn't work on 94 & newer cars.

You also need to do a running sensor scan to see what sensor data is saying.

Are you sure the scanner your using will scan an obd 1 vehicle. Most scanners sold today scan only obd 2 cars.

First of all, all AC-Delco, GM, & Delphi optis for sale are reman units. They're still the best of a sorry lot.

Most auto parts stores can get them for you. As well as Jegs & Summit Racing.

It's time to get an obd 1 scanner that will connect to your pcm. Code reading is important as some major ignition codes doesn't light the check engine light. A running sensor scan will reveal much about the way engine is running.

Since you own a car with an opti, buy a $70 PC based oscilloscope. Learn to use it to check the low & high resolution pulses of opti. They should be nice well formed square waves with no drop outs, or deformed wave patterns.

When you changed plug wires, did you put the wires on the correct cylinders? I ask because opti cap doesn't have same cylinder line up as a sbc chevy distributor cap.

Have you misted the plug wires with some water and ran engine at night. This is to check for spark leakage.

Start with battery. Make sure battery cables have good clean attachents at both ends. Use manual to check engine compartment grounds. Also check wire connectors that go to engine. You want good tight corrosion free connections. The opti pigtail is especially prone to having corroded, bent, & badly fitting pins. You can buy the opti pigtail on Ebay, Amazon, etc.

there should be a diagram of proper spark plug wire connecting order.
