i have the good old code 36 and i was wondering if it will effect performance? thanks

 

It most certainly will.

This would be your MAF Burn Off Relay and probably about 12 bucks to fix.

Any trouble code like this sends your computer into "limp home mode" which enriches the fuel mixture, prevents closed loop, prevents TCC lockup...... or translated means your MPG just got cut in half.

how would one go about fixin it?

 

Code 36 could be a simple fix if it's the burnoff relay.

I would switch the burn off relay with the power relay.

Then disconnect the battery for a few minutes and recheck the codes.

If the code changes (to a 34 I think) then the relay is bad.

About a 12 dollar fix.
