Huge 305 TPI problems!

I bought my car about a year and a half ago and alls I have been doing to it is F*$king with the tuneport electronics...... I had a shop do all the repairs and i have spent around $1500...... oxegen sensor, throttle body, 3 (I REPEAT 3) mass air flow sensors, theres more TPI stuff but i cant remember off hand, battery, alternator, tune up, usual stuff, Millions of code 33, 34 breakages. In fact 34 is coming up as we speek. The car contiunes to hesitate a slight bit and low RPM's, it takes a little bit of cranking to get it to start (tapping gas a little helps), ohh and the main thing is the IDLE. It loves to stall (not everytime but sometimes). The car now overheats when it is sitting around and not driving. Sometimes it runs great, others it run like Shi*!!!! Someone please HELP ME!!!!! Sorry for the complaints but Ive had hell with this bueatiful car, and i know it just a little thing wrong with it (computer related).... Anyway, I found this, Tell me what you think

This is for an 86 iroc 305 TPI, but mine is an 88... but it is screaming the same problems!
Also, could it be a Coolant temp sensor???
Any help appreciated!

If your Mechnic Charged you For replacing 3 MAF's, I think its time to stop replacing 300$ parts, and start replacing Mechanics.


IAC, idle air control, How to clean and reajust it is in the Tech articles, Do that ang get back to us.
