Default Most Common Problems on 94/95 SSEi

Other than the CCR which I have heard lots of stories about.

What are the common problems to find on these years?

As far as I can tell there are a few common problems.

PCM/ECM call it what you would like.
Electrical connections (buy a tube of dielectric grease)
Hybrid year so many places can't scan

I meant if you take it to a shop or auto parts store. In looking for a spare or different ecm for my 95 I have been unable to locate one at a good price.

None of the L67'* have 'common' problems with the drivetrain.

CCR is a problem, but not really any loss when you disable the system.

Computer Command Ride. Electronic struts. Touring and Performance mode buttons on your console.

Unreliable, GM dropped it. Replacement parts are horribly expensive.
