I am not sure about TA's, on TPI camaro's the relays(burnoff,fuel,etc) are located on the drivers side beside your master cylinder. I believe there are three that are hooked up to a bracket, let me know if you need pics(or try a search).

Hey, the dealer got something right!

You dont have a MAF burnoff or power relay. You have whats called a MAF module. Unless you find one used, they are quite expensive.

What I would do is:
Check the wiring at the MAF. These wires have a tendency to get frayed/damaged. Check the connector as well.
Set the TPS low, like .35-.45 max.
Clean the intake with some throttle body cleaner, just spray it in there and fire the car up after a little bit. It'll sputter at first. Might want to put a towel under the TB during spraying, but dont leave it there when you start it up!
Make sure all the vacuum hoses are hooked up and ok. This shouldnt set a 33 but cant hurt to check.

Try that first. I hope something works.

Should be attached to the bracket the ECM is on, opposite side. That'd be under the dash, passenger side.
