mine was a July 1994 build so was production version 3, it had basket handle updated heat/fresh air, immobilizer, loose 2nd gear
Leland Pate started a thread years ago w/ peoples build dates, can't remember if it included build differences or not, maybe some di and some didn't

That's good info Bill, thanks.
I thought no early build cars had the immobilzer.....is yours like the later "drive-block" version with FOB and all?

Mine was built 5/95 and has fob, drive block, newer heat/air, loose 2nd gear & no basket handle.
I was told the 96 builds started late June 95 and crossed over for a week or so with the 95's which is why some of the 95 cars had OBDII connectors with OBD1 installed.

i will repeat again... I swear all these 95s have immobilizers, they have different types... the first types were activated when the doors were locked, by key b/c they don't have a fob. But when your red lights are blinking on the door, in alarm on mode, your car's immobilizer is on.
We really should be saying Fob or no-Fob.
The 2nd type immobilizer computer that operates via Fob is a different setup that some people end up having sync issues with and ultimate failures, bye bye $1000+ USD.
