running like crud

I have an 86 Iroc with an lb9 it runs like crap it idles high between 1200 and 1800 and almost stalls when I put it in gear also it has no power almost can't make it up my driveway. it was throwing a 33 code but when I cleaned the contacts on the maf and burnoff relays the 33 went away now I have a 36.if anyone can help I would appreciate it this was to be a summer car and here it is almost july and I haven't driven it yet.

Re: running like crud

hey i just got a 1986 camaro with a 92 v8 5.7 liter engine in it . the car was running really crappy so i had to change firing order on the car it was running alot better.. but still wasnt right about a week later i discovred the smog silinoid was disconnected from the terminal where it goes into the top of the engine also the electric was not pluged into the conponent. i did some research and found out the correct way to hook it up .. i started and drove the car about 5 blocks car seamed to be running better then ever smooth and more power . after i turned the car off and tryed to start it up the next day .. car does not start .. as u hold the exnition and pump the gas the engine gets slowly to full running speed as if its running and when i let go of the exnition it turnes off as quick as i let go ?? i also tryed removing the smog silinoid back to how i org found it still same story any suggestions ?? thanks could ne the smog silinoid or firing order i fix both of those and my car ran alot better till now
