I have a manual for my '90 Acclaim (approx same car)
code 12 = direct battery input to controller disconnected within the last 50 key-ins.
code 36 = an open or shorted condition detected in the turbocharger wastegate
control solenoid circuit (turbo 1) OR VNT #3 solenoid circuit (turbo 4)
code 55 = completion of fault code display
If your car has a turbo engine, the wastegate solenoid needs replacement. The part
costs about $20. You probably have a turbo 1 engine (no intercooler).

Bill Duffy
