TBI issues

You can check timing with a timing light to see if it is advancing.

Fuel pressure is another manual check.

Vacuum leaks and EGR not closing are a couple more.

Is the CEL on? What codes?

timing at 0 degrees, fuel pressure is good, egr deleted, no vacuum leaks, i almost doused my engine in starting fluid trying to find any vacuum leaks. check engine light is on but its always one i presume i should find a obd1 scanner

Timing is set to 0*, but is it advancing when you check with timing light now?

Fuel pressure is good... good for what? What is the pressure?

CEL is on? But it has always been on? So there has always been a problem... what is the problem?

Starting fluid used to be a good medium to check for vacuum leaks but do to EPA changes in content it is now as worthless as tits on a bull. Use a propane torch similar to what is used to solder copper pipes. It is also safer and more precise to point at area of leak.

OBDI scanner could help. But finding what the issue is with your cable and getting it to record a data log so we can all see and help is a better choice.

i think the laptop is just slow and ornery lol i wish i could figure that out but ive had no luck, ive done everything in my will to get the cable and computer to recognize one another.

fuel pressure is right around 13 psi

when checking timing with a lighth it stays at ) at idle if you rev it the spark advances and such.

Could EGR be the issue with the light? and are you saying stuff an unlight propane torch down there and hope something idles up or so?

Is the IAC moving?

Could EGR be the issue with the light?

Yes

and are you saying stuff an unlight propane torch down there and hope something idles up or so?

Yes, anywhere there is a vacuum leak found it will suck in propane and idle will smooth or raise.

Since you say the timing advances I'm assuming you're checking it without disconnecting the advance wire?? If you are, the timing should not read 0* at idle.

How about you jumper the ALDL pins and count the flashes and get the codes.

Does that work on 93-94 $E6 type PCM?

No idea. It's not terribly difficult to go to a forum for the vehicle which would use that PCM and find out.
