my 87 TA threw codes 22 & 33, throttle position sensor and excessive air thru MAF, yesterday, and immediatly starting trying to die. Pulled the MAF and looked at all wiring... nothing unusual was discovered. Now the care wont even start.

Any ideas on what to look at next?

 

Its just so odd that both codes threw at the same time. Stranger things have happened tho.

Anyway, after removing the MAF, battery, alternator, pushing and pulling on all associated wires, for the 3rd time in 2 days... the car started up, with initially a little fearthing on the gas, runs fine, no codes, SO FAR!

What the heck is going on?

First I'd spend an hour or two using the search function in the TPI Forum for your codes, and get some general ideas, but...


Check TPS voltage, there's a "How to" on the mainpage in "Tech" section.

You could try unplugging the MAF eletrical connection (as well as TPS) to see if it's get the beast fired up.

MAF issues are mostly relays (burnoff or power), electrical connections or the MAF itself.

Cuold be that the TPS voltage vs MAF airflow measured is incorrect, due to either TPS or MAF.
