Default smog vs check engine light

after passing smog several times, my corvette check engine light would not go out. Car ran well but would not pass smog. Codes 24/34 & 36 and computer bad. Replaced, and After many hundred of $ Co 2 sensor replaced but chk engine light still on. I replaced air flow sensor and finally light is off when start engine. BUT now will not idle, therefore will not pass smog. Any help?

I can't seem to get logged in, just too old I guess. If this gets to any one, I'm in CA Its a 1989 and no codes show at this time. Codes 24, 34, and 36 cleared.

What MAF sensor was put on as a replacement? There are some that just don't work. It would be well worth it to buy a scan tool that reads live data-you can find them on e-bay. Like an Auto xray ezlink. With that you can look at the gm/sec.the MAF sensor is reading out and if it's off it will be apparent what's going on.
