These are the trouble Codes on my brother's 91 firebird 5.0 tbi. (23,15,33)
Has open element air filter. <problem?

 

Here is a list of codes. For the coolant, Is the thermostat working? What does the temp gauge read for engine temp? Has he tried replacing those sensors?

^^^ Check the sensors for the two sensor codes and replace if necessary and on the MAP code check ALL your vacuum lines especially the vacuum going to the MAP. Most cases the code 33 is a vacuum leak.

 

i am running my fan off the AC switch at all times.... meaning the car doesnt heat up... im getting code 15... could that be the cause?
