So did you do the opti work before this? What exactly did you do? If you just changed the cap and rotor ,after the codes you had and dripping WP,odds are your opti will not be reliable with just a cap and rotor.

Just ran a codes check again and got a MAF 48 code, remember I am running a PCM for Less OBD 1 programed ECM. Will change the MAF and see what happens. Advance Auto has one from CARDONE for $125, new sensor, remanufactured body 1 yr warrenty. Their WEB site it exceeds the original anyone use it?

I helped a buddy install a Cardone Opti from AutoZone on his 1995 'Vette. It lasted about two weeks before it went ****-up.

Ghetto garbage, IMO. On par with Python fuel injectors. You get what you pay for....

I think I paid around $75 here on CF for an OEM low-mile sensor, I'll do that any day of the week over a non-GM MAF - these MAF's are very, very sensitive, most important sensor on the car probably.
