    You say it is running now, are you able to get the flash codes? Try turning the ignition OFF....ON (not to start)...OFF...ON....OFF then ON. Your check engine light should start to flash. Does that happen? This is a way to check that the computer is sending error codes.

    The only thing I can think of is a 94 & 95 Grands are OBD I and not the newer OBD II . Your friends scanner most likely does not read the older style. I don't have a scanner so I am guessing on that but it sounds like it is one or the other with these scanners. The key thing should work though

    the skanner is nor reading it it may be older type connector but take paper clip cross contacts and watch count the flashes on dash .

    if you can gut the wiring harness from the jy jeep and a new ignition and the [ecu or omputer ] make sure batterry good
