If TPS dont work on camaro what will car do?
I have an 85 camaro in the driveway it will run for a few minutes when started but when you give it gas after warm up it will just die and won't want to start again. I can't drive it because it isn't safe at all. It has sat through the winter but I have gone outside to start it up and move here around to keep everything running. I have ran fuel cleaner along with water remover to no help at all. I just put new plugs in along with a radiator and some hoses. Any ideas would be nice she popped codes 15 low temp coolant sensor wire was off put it back on. Also code 13 O2 sensor stays lean during warm engine. Maf sensor the wiring to the maf is all screwed up has never worked since I have owned the car since summer of 97 it is a 2.8 v6 85 camaro with 70,000 on it. She has been a great car until this year? Maybe its time to let her go if it isn't going to be an easy fix. I hear fuel pump coming on when trying to start and fuel getting to motor but quits when warm like it bogs down and just dies? driving down the street and I press the gas pedal and she just stalls out, Could it be a clogged cat? Thanks
Dan,
The maf has been unhooked ever since I got the car. The wires were burned by and engine fire before I got the car. The car has ran fine up until this year she just sits in the driveway waiting for a fix or a bullet which ever is cheaper.

If the MAF is unplugged, than it should be setting a code. Could you double check what is left of the MAF wiring to make sure you are not getting anything touching that shouldn't be?

Try testing the TPS, this is for a Bonneville, but should still be rather close. https://www.gmforum.com/trouble-shooting-test-procedures-141/testing-tps-throttle-position-sensor-279319/ Your going to have to go threw the wires with a fine tooth comb. Something might be shorted.
Dan,
I pulled codes again and I got code 15-13-34-35
34 is maf sensor
35 Idle speed can not be set to desired RPM
15 Low temperature indicated at engine coolant temp sensor
13 Oxygen sensor signal stays lean during warm engine cruise
how do I fix 35? any ideas? thanks
