SES light FLASHING on and off ?!?!

Ok, here's the deal:
1987 L98 GTA
cut out the maf screens, started it back up, bam.. ses light, i figure no biggie, happens to everyone, it should go away... then it starts to stumble and catch itself, then it got REAL bad and almost stalls... so i shut it off, pull off the MAF make sure its clean and all that, retighten everything.. now the SES is flashing on and off. why? what does it mean? right now i unplugged the batt to clear the codes and go from there. anyone have any ideas?? thanks,
ben

Sounds kinda dumb but is the connector fastened properly on the maf? Tap the maf and see if the idle goes down, if so you have a bad maf sensor. All I can really think of....

welp, nevermind on the flashing SES thing.. (left the paper clip in... man im a dumbass..) and as far as code 33, it magically went away. but knowing my GTA, it will be back sometime next week when I'm taking my girlfriend out. thanks for the help.
