On the fuel pressure gauge get a extra extension hose that can reach outside rear view mirror or outside windshield for testing on the road.

95 may be OBD1 or OBD11.or in between.
If OBD1 the OBD11 scan tools will not read OBD1 codes.
Also a 95 is sometimes in between and requires a special adapter /scanner to get codes or read out.
What is your engine code?
What diagnostic test port does it have OBD11 or OBD 1 ?

If old type OBD1 you can just jump pins A and B and read code.

Also TBI fuel injection does not have a fuel pressure port on engine.
If so you will need a fuel pressure test adapter to hook into fuel filter line for pressure testing.

Besides cost look what the scanner does. The ones I recommended do both but the Equus 3160 also checks anti lock brake codes but not OBD1. Freeze frame and ability to monitor various items are very beneficial tracking down problems.
