It seems I've replaced everything from the router to the tooter, HELP
Hello all,
Brand new member here. And bel've me I've been following these threads for years. I was just never a joiner. (So shoot me) Smiling. But really this is my second Vett. First was an 1984, which I enjoyed from 1988 thru 1996. It was very good to me.
Which brings me to my current Vett. A 1989 that I bought with my poker winnings more than (8) months ago. And until recently my only major expenses on my sweet thing was on an alternator and gas.
Then about a month ago it started. The CES warning lit up. Codes 22,36. Granted it was a couple days before the codes were defined. But I replaced the burn out relays, and the TPS sensor. Then two days later its starts stalling after it gets hot. And the only way it will start is if I unplug the connector from the MAF.
Now I read most all the forum threads about what it could be. And bel've me I replaced
Burn off relays, TPS, MAF, AIC and event the ECM. I've read the threads and many were suggesting to change the fuel injectors and fuel filters and egr valves which I also replaced with exception of the egr. But when the car runs, maybe five minutes it runs like the scalded dog it was prior to the codes. The scary thing is I have a little mechanical experience and it frightens me what my cost would have been had I gone to the dealer for this service. Oh, I even kept the replaced parts and changed them back into my car with same results.
Can someone offer some assistance, I will not take a chance on a dealer to duplicate what I have already done at their rates.
Ps, It has been a great car to me up to this point, And I want to keep it but I'm feel close to the edge of parting it out.
Please assist

What's the fuel pressure doing when all this is happening?
What is the timing set to?
Have you had the ignition module tested? Does it have THERMAL (NOT dielectric) grease under it?
