Sorry, but the car with the 04-85 build date is actually an ’85, not an ’86. The one with the 12-85 build date is an ’86. Check the 10th digit of each car’s VIN. The 04-85 car is most likely an “F”, while the 12-85 will be a “G”. This is why you have a difference, the ’85 has a burn-off module in the cockpit not a relay behind the battery like the ’86 has.

I have been losing hair over intermittent codes 34 & 36 in my 1989. Runs good, then runs like crap.
I think I finally have it, although I replaced the MAF, the real culprit was the MAF relay.

Must of been getting weak internally.
