90, its electronic fuel injection or EFI, as we say. 1.6L EFI TBI , 4wd.
(if the engine has full compression, 150psi, not 80? the engine is good. my guess is its ok.
the first tests.
1: key on, CEL glows, does it?
2: check two, you insert the diagnostic jumper , and it flashes code 12. key on and running if it runs now.

this car , i think has the 4 pin plug at the battery, jump B to C and you get code 12. 12 means normal.
if car dont start, put this jumper in place. see code 12s. or others flash out.
the key to finding it is to do tests when it fails.
3: if you crank an engine that dont start. for 5 seconds, see if the DTC errors. are 41. (i think 90s only can flash only 41s, lost spark, lost tachometer signal)
intermittent are very hard to find. nothing harder really,
41s, kill all fuel injections, fast. say in 3 seconds.
when you hit the speed bump does the radio die. or other lights.
when any engine stalls the CEL glows, and charge lamp. this is normal but if the dash lamps all die, at stall this is 12v main power loss. very common on these cars.
when it dies, does the spark test good.?
when it dies, does test fuel start the car back up?
