Re: what scanner to buy for 1995 ssei?
I have an Actron CP9145 which scans a ton of stuff for this car (OBD 1.5, GM's from 94-95 mostly) and read all the codes. It showed KR, tranny temps and a whole bunch of things. It sounds like your PCM may be bad. I chased down a ton of problems and a new computer fixed everything. It may or may not be your answer but may point you in the right direction.

i replaced PCM already...
i am at a total loss...
PCM, ICM, counds cleaned, etc..
when car will not start no injector pulse.
the actron you mentioned will help diagnose a non-start issue with no CEL?

IIRC you have a spare car for parts, did you try swapping the wiring harness that runs between the ICM, PCM, crank & cam sensors?
