Need help badly
I drove the car from the KC area to Dallas yesterday and it ran great. Today I took it in for an inspection sticker and now I am getting a code 33 and it is really running like a dog.
I don't have any manuals with me so I am having problems checking this out. I did to a search and found the 33 relates to the MAF. What I need to know is this probably the MAF or a realy? I pulled the maf off and could see 3 wires inside that didn't look broken.
Where is the relay located? I can probably pick one up late today or tomorrow ( I have family obligations while I am here so I have limited time right now )
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have to drive back to KC Monday and I would hate to do it with the way the car is running.
Thanks, Jon

The mass air flow sensor may have something running across the sensor. I know on one of my cars it had a spider web. And yes it will cause it to run bad. Get some contact cleaner and spray down the little sensor. I would also spray down the connector. This may help.
