Oh yea, the light normally comes on at 40mph+ at a steady cruise, but sometimes goes away with a sharp stomp on the pedal by me Otherwise it'll stay there until i come to a stop and accelerate (sp?) quickly... There no performance or driveing problems from what i can tell...

code 33 high voltage /low vacuum at maf
check your tps voltage first .54vdc --free
next change your maf burnoff and power relays. --15$ each
if its still there,, new maf sensor -- $$$$$

How did i know you were going to say...eek
MAF! Hrmf...didn't think the MAF burnoff relay was the correct one, in the sense, autozone said..verbatem "Pontiac IROC-Z, hrm, that would be the fuel pump relay.."
and branz said "Pontiac IROC-Z, what...grr, where have you been?"
but anyway after like 2 months i looked in year one and thought that my relay shoulda had a rubber boot type thing, the new one did...grr!! ah well, thanks..MAF should be okay and if not..its lifetime warranty
