MAF 22680-31u00 97 Max - I am an idiot
In my attempt to see if my air intake sensor was bad, and thinking it was the sensor that goes into the MAF (before I knew it to be the MAF).. i took the 4 phillips screws from the side of the MAF where the sensor attaches and tried to get it to come out..
ok..so what came out was 3 contacts that I presume are soldered inside somewhere ..or more the point.. were soldered inside somewhere. Does anyone have advice to repair this puppy or am I really hosed?
The good news is.. i found what was causing my 0401 error.. someone, and I would suspect the place I took it to to look at my condensor A/C leak...trying to drum up more business, unplugged my air intake sensor... while their expert technician tied up a lift for an hour to tell me what I already knew.. leak in joint of condensor.. I could hang em.
I Plugged the connector for the air intake sensor back in.. reset the ecu and now no engine check light..even after buttoning back the MAF.. I doubt I have it in there so it will last..unsoldered..
I see a handful on EBAY.. couutesyparts has it for $400+ ick.. Wife won't be too happy with me for dorking with things I have no business touching.. but I just had to find that problem.
It's time to buy a manual...

is it that easy ? Can I get inside to see what's what to solder it ? Is there something I need to "rip" apart to get in there or if I take it out, there will be room to work in there ?
I removed the 4 screws holding it to the air filter box.. and the hose clamp on the other end.. it did not just fall apart ...that's for sure.. I must have to use some force to get it out of the down stream end ..
any advice is appreciated..

Help, I think I have same issue, need this part, 22680-31U00
Wha'ts up fellow Maixima afficionados
Wondering if you can help, I have a 98 Maxima, and several months ago, getting hesitation, and check engine light, won't go off.
Bring it to my mechanic, put it on his machine, and it says this part is bad. Needs to be replaced, 1000 bucks, 400 bucks third party.
I knew this was a high priced dealer part thing, I have been driving it around, running like crap for months, hopefully it doesn't do too much harm.
I am pretty sure this is the part, goes into the air filter case, has a pink / red label on it, Unisia, Jecs Corp, 22680-31U00.
Is this my problem and where can I find this part cheap, I have seen it here, fro 45-60 bucks, but that was a few months back.
thanks so much in advance.

MAF removal

I did mine, it is very easy, when getting the MAF into the vacuum box thing, I put a little bit a vaseline around the rubber flange it goes into... slid right in perfectly - good luck.
check out this video, made it so easy, my 6 yr old could probably do it, if she can reach it... lol

also this video too on the bad solder contacts

Thanks,
Should I just clean mine as is says in the video, or just get a replacement.
Also, has this solved the problem for you guys, does the engine start running properly, (re-gained power) and does the damn light finally go out on the dashboard.

One more thing.. Any ideas, acid / etching marks black maxima
Any ideas, acid / etching marks black maxima
1998 Maxima, Black, has acid etching marks / spots on all the flat surfaces, hood, roof, trunk.
I was told years ago that wet sanding can get this out of the clear coat, thing is I a m not doing this myself.
I need to find a qualified detailer guy that I can trust to do this here in Los Angeles, and not cost that much.
Any ideas, thanks again and perhaps I can post this is the detailing / paint forum here, maxima.org

So you potentially tried to ruin my sale by quoting a price that you payed 3-4 years ago and clearly was a ridiculously good deal even then? Thanks buddy
Ill do it for $45 shipped, I can't go any lower than that though. Also, I didn't get your e-mail, it might have gone to junk mail or I might have missed it. I will check again, or if you want to go ahead and just paypal me Kevgoods@hotmail.com I will get it out asap, I log into my paypal at least once a day, I log into my hotmail account like once a week.
