I've got a 94 bonneville SSEi. Bought an Actron OBDI reader and a cable to
connect to the car with the OBDII type connector, works great.

Look on Ebay.

 Or take it to the dealer and pay 'em a few bucks to tell you the code.
Cheaper than trying to guess the problem and buying unnecessary parts.
 My dealer charges about $30 to just read a code. Sometimes they do it for
free. If I need them to diagnose the exact problem they charge me about
$55. Which applies to the repair cost if I let them make the repair.
