thats really odd, sounds like as soon as it goes into closed loop it quits. The o2 sensors are what causes it to go into closed loop, id put it on a scanner and see what they're reading.

Which opti does it have in it? The opti for the 94 or the 95? They are different opti's (one is vented and one is not). Also, which computer did they use, the 94's or the 95's? This may also cause and issue with figuring out the opti if you had different years opti's for different years PCM's.

This is just one possibility you might consider.

the opti that we had pulled of was a non vented one and i wasnt there for the istallation of the new one because it ended up going to the dealership for it, it did run before and then suddenly started doing this
