The Most I paid for a used PCM for a 94-95 was $50... And it came out of a low milage Bonnie...
Most any of the U Bodies( TransPort, Lumina APV with the 3800) 94-95 ... Or any C or H Body GM car with the 3800 will all have the same PCM...
It only takes a few minutes to swap out...
If you want to save your money... I can post pics on how to replace the PCM on your own

I paid $45 for one from a junkyard for my '95 SE, - lasted 7 months. I paid $50 for a rebuilt at O'Rielly'* - set false codes - wouldn't work right. Got a replacement from the same remanufacturer - set false codes - different ones - wouldn't work right. Paid $100 for a different reman from O'Reilly. Worked great since install. It is very easy to remove and replace one. You can do it in ten minutes if you have never done it before - in 5 minutes if you have, including installing the PROM chip.

Research done:
Bad memory. The first two bad computers came from Rock Auto. I think they were less than $50. The remanufacturer was SIA electronics. I went to Rockauto.com to check the current price and was pleased to see that Rockauto no longer offers the SIA brand for sale. They only offer Cardone for $114 and AC Delco for $151. The good computer I bought from O'Reilly was a Cardone. The current O'Reilly price (and the price I paid) was $98.99 with a $95 core charge. (They really want your old one.) The cardone part number is 77-3247.
What is it about the '94 -'95 that eats PCMs? Is it the dopey hybrid OBDI/OBDII deal?
