MAF Burn off Relay Question
MAF Burn off Relay Question
Does anyone know the part reference number of that relay? Where is it possible to find a replacement for that part? I can't think of anywhere else besides a dealer.
Thanks for the help.

I can't speak for all years but in 1987, the MAF power relay is different from the burnoff and fuel pump relays. The power relay has an internal connection between two terminals that the burnoff and fuel pump relays do not have.

Willie, are you sure? I had to replace my MAF relays on my old '87 GTA and the two MAF relays were the same. The FP relay was different, however, so is the one in my '89 GTA.

I also do know that all three relays are the same in some other year third gens but don't have specifics. Maybe Pontiac used the same relays in 1987. I say this because the 1987 Corvette used the same, but the Camaro didn't. (Don't have a clue why.)
My shop schematics show the internal relay circuitry and they are different as I previously described.

Yeah, mine was the same, but I know in some models they are different. See TPIS's online cat, they show differences.

Willie, you might have banged it right there. I've only owned Pontiac Third Gens. Could be why all had a diff. fuel pump relay too.

Puzo had a gift for overstating the obvious...
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Some of the relays are SPDT, and some loads only required a SPST, so rather than go for uniformity, some cars got only one SPDT. My '86 TA has both MAF power and burnoff relays the same, but a SPST fuel pump relay - go figure.
