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.

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.

I don't know where they are on a Camaro but they are here on an 86 Trans Am:
