diagnostic help

well, my tpi conversion is nearly done on my 82 trans am, so far have added it, edelbrock tes headers eliminated the muffler with 2 1/2 inch tailpipes only, which by the way the car sounds absolutely awsome for a stock LG-4, however I'm having a problem my check engine light is now on constantly, but first let me say wiring is not the problem since it is a complete harness out of a running 87 trans am, and the fuel pump is new, let me describe symtoms that car is encountering,

1 idles at around 800rpm (nuetral) after warm
2 whenever I open the throttle fast it wants to die
3 fires first turn of the key cold or hot
4 how do I flash the check engine light, please tell me eactely what wires to jump (from top to bottom right to left ect.)
4 is there a link here that give ecm codes.

got a bad felling Im going to see a code for the mass airflow sensor ( ............ kaaaaaaching $$$$$$$$$

will post some pictures of it when its all finished

....check the tech section on the front page, it has all the codes listed there as well as what terminals to jump(A&B). Keep reading the whole tech section, not just on code extraction part, it will help you out quite a bit.

ok I'm getting a code 33, which Ive been reading about for the last hour so that one is not a problem, however I'm also getting code 36 ...... one other thing I failed to mention, I know I have a burned out fusible link at the starter since I have no battery power at the fusebox, could this be causing my trouble by chance ?

ok so maybe code 33 is a bigger problem than I thought, upon closer looking I found the relay wires were sort of bare, so I replaced the relays and plug ends with weatherpack relays, however still no power to my blue wire at the maf, red wire gets power though while jumping PIN G on the alcl, no something interesting the red & the blue wires were spliced at sometime right at the mass airflow sensors plug, does this blue wire originate from the ECM itself ? or from the burn off relay, I switched ECM's by the way, that didn't do any better at all, so what do you all think the wire is shorted out somewhere going to the ECM its self ? oh and yes the relays are getting power and all

new update

code 33 goes away if I cover my air filter up with a towel, I also need to add that I made my own intake air track and stuck a air cleaner on the end of the mass airflow sensor, with this what do you guys think bad mass airflow sensor ?
