1994 non-turbos don't have OBDII.

However, there is an OBDI port under the hood that will tell you EVERYTHING.

Read the codes from ports there (A2 and A6 if you have a check engine light).

You can interpret them here:

In my opinion, the OBDI system works better because they are very easy to decode and you do not need to buy any tools to check them.
