i had the same problem with my 97 and i got it flashed and it fixed the problem, and the 94s should have the obd2 port just like the newer ones

what is wrong with the truck? and its called a PCM

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

but if you dont need the truck up and running fast you can always take out your PCM and send it to Jody at DP Tuner and he can flash it.
