85 IROC MAF ISSUE

Hello, Working on a 85 Iroc starts and runs (poorly) checking MAF sensor. Went to firewall to check relay and burn off and they are not present. Also unable to find the wiring to reestablish them on the firewall. Any know where the wires originate? Pictures. Thanks has me stumped dont know why they are not present the brackets are their but they and the associated wiring are not.

Re: 85 IROC MAF ISSUE

The relays are not strictly required as long as the MAF has switched power when running. The burn off relay only serves to clean the element when activated.

Have you pulled codes, and done any data logging? The ECM will tell you if there are serious circuit malfunctions.

I don't think an 85 has a burn off relay. There is a silver box under the dash that handles that.

Correct, and that MAF module also switches power to the MAF.
