Hey guys...a girl needs help...
hello everybody....i had a problem a few weeks ago...my car was stalking and then turns off...so many said to replace the MAF sensor. so i did...and the problem was gone....but....of course....there are other problems now. i have a very annoying sound when i start to acelerate...sounds like something on the mufer, or like a lose house (i really don't know haw to explain that one). when i start the engine before was a smooth sound, and now is diferent. also when i acelerate its nat smooth, sometimes is a problem to acelerate, start to pull back somehow (thats haw it feel). and it's spending more gasoline than normal...
any ideas......i thought that it's again the Maf, but i don't have any cel light on..
please guys....help me...
ok...si hay alguien que habla espaņol...aqui le va mi problema...
1. Mi Maxima tenia el siguiente problema - el auto no se podia acelerar y ciando lo hacias simplemente perdia fuerza y se apagaba. eso desde que lo compre. el foco de Chek Engine estaba prendido y sacamos codigos...fue Knock sensor y Coolant Temp Sensor. Los compre usados, los cambiaron y el problema no desaparecio, pero el foco del Check desaparecio. Estaba igual. no se podia acelerar, llegabas a 40 Millas y se jaloneaba, y se sentia que se ahogaba el auto. Mi mecanico lo reviso varias veces, se cambio filtro de gasolina, se limpio el Trottle body, se cambio IAC sensor, de nuevo el Coolant Temp Sensor y finalmente le cambie el MAF sensor. Entonces ya el auto dejo de apagarse y se maneja basta bien, pero en todo......
2. Ahora tengo un sonido desde el area de motor, se presenta cuando acelero y especialmente cuando estoy subiendo....el sonido es como que tienes una manguera y esta saliendo aire, pero ya cheque y no tiene ningun escape.... el auto no acelera bien, se jalonea de nuevo..pero no tan fuerte, la aguja de los revoluciones a veces esta bailando de arriba a abajo (eso no creo que es normal) y cuando prendo el auto el motor se oye muy pesado...antes la maquina era muy suave, casi no se oia, ahorita es un ruido mucho mas fuerte...
tambien se le hico tune-up, cambio de filtro de aire, de aceite, aceite, bujias y cables. pero eso hico el problema nomas mas grande..
si alguien puede entender eso, le agradeceria muchismo su ayuda....
any ideas......i thought that it's again the Maf, but i don't have any cel light on..

from one girl to another ---
now, the guys might laugh at me cause i might not know what im talking about, but what i think is this:
your exhaust really has some effect on your gas milage, that however shouldn't effect how your engine sounds, but it will cause some "knocking" sounds depending on where your muffler is 'leaking' at. About the pulling back, I dont know ... I would think though exhaust might have something to do with that, it might studder a little bit.
I am just trying to help, if I am wrong, I will get laughed at :P But, thats what I think it might be since you said your muffler sounds different and your having gas economy issues.
Hope that helps
If not ... I'm sorry

a vacuum leak could make the car run rough. There are 3 hoses that connect to the intake tube, between the MAF and throttle body. check them. also maybe you didnt get a good seal between the new MAF and air box. also the box may not be closed all the way.
Check the codes just to be safe, some problems dont light the CEL.
but maybe you have another bad MAF?

If you think the noise is coming from thr exhaust, check the Cat, that could make a lot of "rattling" noise when accelerating, if I'm describing it right. It also affect greatly the gas mileage. Worth a shot to give it a check.

I would make sure all the Hoses and also if you unscrewed the 4 nuts that hold the MAFS for any reason you might wanna ensure that they are tight enough to avoid any leaks. I recently had the same symptoms like you explained above. I went back and tightened the 4 nuts and bingo...no noise no stalling. Hope this helps.
