1988 code 33.
So I had a couple codes and replaced my knock sensor, electronic spark control and the 02 sensor. I cleared all codes and take a drive. After a couple. Days I get an engine light and it was running like crap. I had to stop for a minute. The restarted and headed home. No engine light. I run the codes anyway and got a code 33. Basically it says low vac or low flow at maf sensor. I checked and found nothing. I'm going to clear and try again but any other things I should look for.

You're looking at the wrong cheat sheet for the codes. On your car code 33 is MAF output high. Use this link:

You can get this error if you have a bad connection to the MAF sensor. Probably a corroded pin in the connector. Sometimes the pins get pushed part way out of the connector and don't make a good connection.

You have to check the relays according to the manual procedure to see if this is an intermittent thing or a true failure. When one fails, replace both. They are behind the battery on the firewall.
