Russ ,

Here is a copy that I have of the codes listed. They may or may not be
exactly what you need, use at your own risk. Looks like a
thermostat/temp sensor or a speed sensor problem. Does your temp gauge
read low on the scale, or does your speedo act up intermittently?

Gayle

* Activates Power Limited/Check Engine light.

11 No ignition reference signal detected during cranking (bad Hall
      effect)
    OR timing belt skipped one or more teeth;
    OR loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor

     air/'fuel ratio when EGR activated
     - check valve, vacuum lines, and EGR electrical
33 Air conditioning clutch relay circuit open or shorted
     (may be in the wide-open-throttle cutoff circuit)
34 (1984-86) EGR solenoid circuit shorted or open
34 (1987-1991) speed control shorted or open
