Default code 33

Hi, I followed the diagnostic procedure in the shop manual and it led me to the conclusion that the burn off module requires replacement. Does anyone have any experience with this and is this process acurate or in other words highly reliable (ie replace the module)?
Thanks

According to his other post he has an 85, which has a unique burn off module that is pricey.

Yes, I have an '85 and it is expensive, hence the question. Just want to be sure. Thanks

you will probably get someone more experienced than myself responding, however, I will take a stab at it. My car is an 85, which contains a MAF sensor and a burn-off relay or module. 86 to 89 was basically the same except the burn-off function is in the ECM and the relays are in the engine compartement roughly on the firewall behind the battery (above). I believe from 90 on in the C4's the system was changed to a MAP sensor. Probably the same issue. I used the factory shop manual to diagnose this, these are great!. Recommend you locate a manual or someone with it.
