just got the code 36 today car runs fine though no change. do auto parts stores carry this relay or do i need to go to gm. also how soon do you guyss think i should replace this relay cause im on a kinda tight budget.

 

Auto zone definitely can order it. I doubt anyone stocks it. I always grab a handful from junkyard cars to keep as spares. There are several different part #s for that style GM relay (also used for fuel pump, etc) that all cross reference the same replacement part #.

 

where exactly is this maf relay anyway???

 

On the drivers side firewall.

 

Advance or autozone it is the Gp sorensen MR21 or 22 i think. I had the guy just let me search through all their relays until i found one that looked the same and it worked. Ill repost again after i go in the garage later and ill see what the box says

 

MR44. Advance Auto Parts should keep it in stock. If not, there is also a Factory Air brand fan relay that should cross to the MR44 number (dont remember the Factory Air part#).

 

I went to my local napa and they had one in stock for like $10

 

thanks for the replies i was able to get one and the code is now cleared

 

what year. my 89 has the NON-rounded rectangular one. and all the others are rounded off.

 

TpiParts.net shows the 89 burn-off relay as the round type. If yours is different, you'll just have to see if you can cross reference the number on the one you have.
