Kinda a dumb question butdo our cars have a crank sensor and could this be the issue I'm having with car sputtering when i sit at idle cause now my speedometer when I floor it and get closer to high rpms it starts bouncing around my speedo and my tach both are bouncing around .... a friend of family told me about it but isnt sure if we have one so I will ask yall

The crank sensor is read only. They do nothing more than detect misfires.

Like mentioned, CPSs were only used on OBDII cars.

As for the CEL, no use in guessing - have it scanned. That's what it's there for.

yeah it should. I believe 95's had the obd1 computer but a obd2 port. so it might be tricky finding a scanner unless you just take it to the dealership
