If it's on your 87 GTA, it may be the elec spark control module. See if you can find a place that can test it. Autozone maybe???
Check/clean connections.

My car used to give that code sometimes when it was really hot under the hood (i.e.Texas summer, A/C on, stuck in traffic). Haven't seen it since I upgraded the radiator a few months back.

Obviously it's a cooling issue. I had that code for one day...than my car over heated and boiled over. Replaced the t-stat, rad and a few gaskets...never had the problem again.
