Hows it goin everyone? I've been away for a while now I'm coming back and I need some help. My car failed inspection a while ago for a couple of reasons, one of the front fenders has some rot, I didn't have amber turn signalsin all my directionals, my third brake light was out ( turns out it wasn't but with the tint the guy working the station couldn't see it.), and I'm throwing all types of engine codes. here are the codes p0100 MAF/VAF circuit malfunction, p0150 O2 sensor b2 s1 circuit malfunction, p0325 Knock sens 1 circuit malfunction, p0450 Evap Press sensor malf, p0141 o2 sensor b1s2 htr malf, and finally p0446 Evaporator vent ctrl malfunction. To top it off I went to Thailand and China for the month of august into september and come back to find that my cv joints died and one of my passenger side breaks is locked! Talk about rough times. Well my point of letting the org know this is that I know there are some very intelligent maxima enthusiasts on here that might have some knowledge as to what I should try to do to get my max back to the wonderful healthy ride she was.As for the bulbs I took care of them. I am working on the fender and brake problem. I am not sure what I'm going to do about the cv joints I think someone said raxles.com has good deals, does anyone know prices? And any help on the CEL codes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
P.S. My max is a 97 5 spd and I don't mind getting my hands dirty and doing some work as long as its not to complicated and time consuming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thanks once again.
BK

ok well leave the KS for last, replace the o2 and im not sure about the evap, but guys on here should be able to help you with that as i have seen the evap thing go bad before on here

but i just have to ask, why would you go for inspection if your CEL was on ? thats a no brainer

and whats with the fender ? its not part of the solid frame of the car so how does tha affect safety?

the fender had rot and failed for exposed metal cuz there were two small holes. i wen and got the r sticker because my old sticker expired and my parents got pulled over when they were driving my car while i was out of the country and were warned about it then when I got back and was driving to school I got pulled over and written warning received about r sticker now I have 60 days to get in fixed and reinspected before I can get a ticket. someone I know suggested I reset my cel and see what codes come up first then go from there. also for a maf where shoyld I go I dont want to go to the stealership for many of these as that will cost me way to much so where should I go for parts would you feel comfortable getting a maf from a junkyard? still hoping for help. also does anyone know how to manually reset the CEL I can't remember how to do it.

i'll help with what i do know, which isn't a lot mechanically. i use raxles but most ppl say rebuilt units from your local auto store are just as good. you can probably find a maf in the classifieds here, which i trust more than yards. i don't know about the codes, but they look related in 2 groups to me. i would wait for someone who really knows mechanics because it might be 1 thing wrong throwing multiple codes.
