[QUOTE="Steve Fontaine, post: 133018, member: 3293"] So as some of you know I bought an 89 corvette beginning of last spring. The car is in very decent condition but as with any vette thats been sitting in a garage for 10 years and basically undriven, things will arise that need attention. and they arose very quickly. the first was the stupid key cylinder got stuck in the run position as some of you have read about in my other thread. that was resolved. did it all by myself with a ton of swearing and heavy research on how to dismantle half a steering column. the next issue was smoke pouring out from under the car. turned out it was just a rear transmition seal that had dried out from sitting around for so long. That was fixed as well so no more leaking going on. all is good. now its onto the idle surge. the last issue left that effects the car running properly. The engine light is on and its reading the dreaded code 36. "mass airflow burnoff relay issue." so the tech that i had look at it last fall disconnected the mass airflow sensor and it fixed the issue just enough that it will drive without major things going on. but it can get scary sitting at a red light if the vette doesnt feel like being nice to me. so anyways, its time to adress this issue and see if i can solve this myself by trouble shooting, snooping through the engine and getting feedback from you guys. its worked before. and it will work again. i will also be posting videos in this thread so everyone can see the progress thats going on. now, ive already done a bunch of research but i think the most logical place to start is by inspecting the burnoff relay connections and wires going to the MAF before i start buying new relays. what say you all?
