It has been a while (3 years) since I tuned it up (spark plugs). I don't seem to be getting any codes ( I don't have a code checker for this old of model). No check engine light. Normally it would start without touching the accelerator per instructions from the manual. Now, aftering sitting a bit, one has to use the accelerator.

My 95 has to be tuned up about every 6 mos.(plugs) major tune up every year(plugs,plug wires,cap, rotor, filters, etc.). My plug gaps open up over a 6 mo. period, and it starts to run bad. I run a good injector cleaner about once a month. I put about 500m a week on mine. Also just because there is no CIL doesn't mean there's no codes. Autozone will check it for nothing, better safe than sorry.

Be sure to use dielectric grease on both ends of your plug wires it helps keep water out, also use it inside your distributor cap on the terminals and rotor contacts. Welcome to FTE. You can learn a lot here.
