need help question?

I have a 88 gta tpi 305 t5 .
I have headers and I get starter solenoid heat soak for over 2 years it makes me insane


So I made my own kit copting it from the gm on from tough stuff
I made the whole kit I went to local store got a external solenoid and wired the whole thing yesterday
now I started it 3 times let it warm up and it ran fine didn't move though
today I washed it in driveway went to drive it and I started it and it runs mega rich sputtering and stalling idel looping going crazy


I didn't relaze in the instructioin in the relay box it says do not use on a computer controlled vehicle will damage computer etc etc it needs to have a diode to supress the voltage I just got the diode hooked it up and still did nothing


no engine light on either running in the driveway


this car ran perfectly always




I time in its life before it did this and the ecu was bad


and 1 other time it was a bad o2 sensor


it could be also a bad mass air flow meter which is orig,






do you think that I blew my computer or the chip or o2 sensor??


I just put a new o2 in it 2 years ago when I got the headers.

Re: need help question?

I got a new o2 sensor and didn't fix it


I also got a engine light code 33


I think its my mass air flow


my tpi wiring is fine I just checked


so does anyone know how to test it for sure
