DTC 22, 33, 45

Daily driving 1991 Camaro z28 with about 197,000 miles 305/700r4. Was able to get my hands on a Tech 2 scanner from GM and recently had Check Engine light come on and then car wanted to stall barely and then it did and fired it back up and drove it more and acceleration made it go away. Any experience with these codes and would one be causing the other two to also appear?

Re: DTC 22, 33, 45

What’s tps voltage at idle ? Any glitches in voltage when the throttle is depressed?

Backprobe the blue wire at the tps. It might be non adjustable but should be .67-.75 idle and increase when throttle opens wot 4.5v. Grey wire to tps is a 5v reference.

Re: DTC 22, 33, 45

when i checked the idle by directly putting the leads on the ground and the signal wire , i got 0.59 at idle and 4.45 at wot, compared to the 0.61 idle and 4.44 connecting the ground lead to frame of car. Did i measure the ground wire correctly?

Re: DTC 22, 33, 45

Yes you measured correctly. Might clear the codes and see if 22 comes back.
just remembered tps ground shared with mat so I don’t think it’s a ground issue might effect both sensors.
might try this trouble tree

It’s the connector under the dash drivers side knee level.
