Code 36 on my 87 vette
After changing the air filter and removing the housing to clean, the check engine light came on with a code 36. I read this means the mass air flow circuit error. What does that mean and what do i do to correct it. Thanks

After you finished with the air filter, did you make sure the MAS was plugged it? You can clear the code, make sure the MAS is plugged in properly, and see if the code resets. If it does, follow the trouble shooting steps in your FSM.
