Have a weird problem; car cuts out and act as though it is sraving for fuel?

Hello, and I want to thank anyone that has information that may help. I am glad I found this forum. My car is a 350 tpi 1988 iroc, I am having a problem after start-up. The check engine light comes on and the car starts acting as if it is bogging down. I ran a code on it, and it comes back 33. I have replaced many of the vac. lines and fuel pump relay just in case. Also have bought a new maf but it still performs poorly. Please any help! Thanks Scott, your friendly okie!
