I went down to the local parts store and had them look up the relays and they didn't have any of them. The guy then asked to see the car to check them out. He took down the #'s on them (except for 1 because it was completely faded off) and looked them up in the database. They turned out to be generic #'s that listed tons of parts depending on which category you narrowed it down to. He looked under the air metering/ air flow section and relays and nothing came back with what you described. Does anyone by any chance have specific part #'s? In the mean time I'll have to check with a chevy dealership (unfortunately, they rape u for prices). One time I needed a speedo cable, it was $60 from the dealership, and $10 from the local parts store.

 

Just happen to have the reciept from the GM Dealer!
The MAF relay number is the same for the both of them like someone said before.

MAF: 14089936 RELAY ASSM, $10.00
Fuel pump relay: 10094701 RELAY ASSM, $15.00

Remember these are the part numbers I got from the GM Dealership.

Good Luck!

 

So according to your receipt, I should order the first item twice?

 

Yes

 

sweet, I hope this solves the prob. If not, I'll have to lay down some cash for a new sensor. Thanks for the info.

 

Ditto!

 

Ah yes, things with these cars can never be easy . I ordered 2 relay assemblies according to these posts with the part #. They just came in today, so I figured I'd pop those bad boys in.

First thing, I'm not sure which 2 out of the 3 on the firewall cuz they're all the same exact size. Only 1 still has a label on it that says 'MAF power'. Just for ha has I unscrewed one of them to get a good look at them. It appears that these things are in 3 pieces: the assembly unit like the ones that I ordered, then an intermediate plug (cuz the plug on the unit is bigger than the plug needed for the wiring harness.

Now another prob, 1) after unplugging the wiring harness, I tried to unplug the assembly from this intermediate type plug (after pulling back the plastic retainer clips) and it appears that they've been glued together. 2) These 3 sensor assemblies on the car are rectangular, the ones that came in are oval shaped. I triple checked the part # before ordering. Any ideas???

 

I came across an article on thirdgen.org that was swapping an '86-'87 ECM in place of an '85. There are some pics showing the MAF relays from an '87 and an '89 side by side. And what do u know, '87 is square and '89 is oval shaped. WTF? GM just likes to make life difficult

 

Is this what you are looking for?
