I checked the areas listed my largest concern is getting it to start. Like I stated have to toggle key then when it does turn over it doesn't fire. also the radio is asking for a code.

Check these ground locations:

Right inner fender, behind the battery. Battery and EMC on 1994 & 1995 models.


Below the battery, inside the right frame rail. Battery ground.


Right of the left cylinder head. ECU, A/C compressor clutch on 1994 & 1995 models.


Right frame rail, inside the wheel well. Starter.


Left footwell, behind trim panel. ECM, key switch, radio, OBDII data link.


Right footwell, behind trim panel. Starter solenoid relay, park-neutral position switch, alarm, data link connector.


Left side of luggage compartment, behind access panel for taillights, above light assembly. Fuel pump, fuel level sensor.

So if you spray starting fluid or carb cleaner into the throttle body and crank it over will it start?

Ended up being the inertia switch plug wasn't secured fully after cleaning. however after examining the headlight connector on both sides is melted where the black wire is, what would cause this? thanks

A melted wire to the head lights is because of to much draw from the bulb.
