Answer
Hi Ray,
Fortunately you have a '96 which should have a self-diagnostic fault code readout by the ignition key. Turn it "on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light, which remains 'on', to begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat the process to verify you get the same numbers of flashes. Then write back with the flash counts in the order of appearance for a code translation and what to do. The last two sets of flashes is always 5 each which means end of readout.
