Default Gar! Code 33 and 36 again!

On my 86. It's the MAF sensor and MAF sensor burn-off function faults.

This has happened before. I replaced both the burn-off relay and the other one right next to it, don't remember the name of it.

But I have added concern over it happening again only 3-4 years later. Common problem? Advice for tracking down the root cause? Place to get a cheap replacement?

Have you checked for a cracked wire or bad connector?

I had this happen, replacing relays didn't fix but a new MAF from NAPA did.

will check for cracked wire but god forbid if the maf is bad.

of course from what i understand a bad maf should show some kind of symptom other than just a code.
