My 95 acted similar until I changed a few parts. First thing I would do is read the codes at the front of the car. You can extract them by following the guidelines on this site. Write down the codes and clear them. You might need a Oxygen sensor, or maybe a MAF sensor. When I changed mine that's when it came to life. Depending on the weather (colder being better) your car should easliy spin the tires from a stand still. Check those codes.
