Check the spark plug gaps and the resistance in the Spark plug leads. On the 1995 model check the coil. If its a solid state coil, fit and oil filled coil.

If you try and start the engine, The light next to the clock should come ON and go OFF after a second or so. This sounds like you have a computer box problem. When you switch the ignition to the ON position the Light next to the clock (Immobilizer Warning light) comes ON and then goes OFF. This shows that the system is OK If the Light flashed quickly and then switches OFF and starts flashing a "1" or a "2" and switches OFF and the starts to flash um a "1" to "6" , or say 1 3 or 86. We repair these computer boxes. Phone or Whatsapp : 0820606425
