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
