The signal may not be getting from the opti to the PCM. You can test it by doing this:

I dunno.. could be a VATS issue? Is there a security light?

Using an auto PCM the engine may not idle right and the reverse lockout solenoid will not function. You can always get it reflashed to a manual PCM though.

Correct.

95 is what is commonly referred to as OBD1.5.
OBD2 connector with a OBD1 system.
