HELP!! IT'S BACK code 33

Ok it's back. I thought i had it. Awhile ago I started to get the code 33 After about $300 I thought I had it. New maf,maf power reley,burn off reley,and several other parts.
When it went away it also cooled off here in FL now it is starting to warm back up would this have anything to do with it?? What happens is I will be driving along then the car will start loosing power like it is running out of gas or something then that dreded check eng. light comes on. It will still run good as long as you don't try to get it up over 2000 rpm. Afte that it just starts cutting out you can punch it and it just wont get up the rpms it starts to dog out HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are your connections clean? maybe the warm weather is causing moisture and condensation on the connections,,

is that code maf burn off relay or sensor? i used to get the code for the burnoff lead on and off. it turns out that it would come on when there was an air leak before the sensor, after fixing that it didnt come back on.

no mods all stock. it almost feels like it is running out of gas. as long as I don't get over 2000 rpms it's fine if i punch it it will bogg down. Would a 33 show if it was a fule prob??
