code 36 on 89 corvette
Thought I had this problem solved. Pulled a 36 code, put in a new burnoff switch. Problem went away for a short time. Also put a new MAF sensor in. Original MAF Bosch, new AC Delco. Original burnoff switch TRW. New not sure I had it installed. This is intermittent, usually takes a couple days to come back after reset.???

Sounds like time to check the wiring from relay to MAF. Maybe a broken wire that's going open from time to time.
Code 36 doesn't show until next start after engine to temp, the burn happens when engine is shutdown.

Not to hi-jack your thread but I am in for some help as well.
89 Corvette 27K miles, Code 36 - I unhooked the battery and cleaned the MAF connector, drove car for about 3 days without a CEL - now its back. New relays, New MAF.
There are some good threads on here in regards to code 36 - but it seems everyone's car was a different fix- from ECU to MAF to Relays to bad connections.
From what I read these aftermarket MAF are not within specs or junk? I am going to put two new relays in again as the previous owner said they were replaced prior to my purchase, which they look new just ruling out the easy stuff.
