the IAT is useless so forget about it being even remotely related to the problem your having. My bet is the MAF, they are fragile, mine gave out once too for no reason.
There is a reason the Valve Cover is connected to the intake. Read in the FSM about it.

Glad to see you capped off the nipple none the less.

An open air leak anywhere between the maf and the throttle body could cause problems.

 

ohh ok...what is FSM?

 

factory service manual
www.nicoclub.com/FSM/maxima/1995

 

ohh ok...Service Manuel...I have the Haynes one for the 1995, so i'll cjeck it out in that

 

haynes the fsm is what the dealership techs go by, not haynes or chilton.

 

ohh...lol...well it hasn't steared me wrong yet...

 

"Based upon a complete teardown and rebuild"

 

man, i guess my feelings just got hurt - i gave you gold but you'd rather settle for silver

 

I clicked on a link within that manual and it says "webpage cannot be found" for all of em

 

the FSM has more specific information than you could ever hope for in chiltons or haynes. This is what the dealership idiots use when they are sticking wrenches in your engine bay...it's dumbed down good enough to be used by noobs usually.

??? i click the link and takes me directly to the fsm...weird. and the specific sections work too. it's known to crash though so it's best to download it.

 

yeah, i can click on the link and it'll work...but the specific sections won't

 

Here are some pics of a TRUE CAI, if you need another MAF i have one for sale.

 

Sorry i have to upload another pic......gimme a few.

 

^^ Why not edit the post you started with originally instead of posting twice?

 

'Cause that's how (214) Viets do it.

 

i don't see any pics still?

 

bimp...please help...maf is unplugged and now when i give it gas it stalls............

 

i thought you would've put on the spare maf you have. no codes in the ecu memory? some pics from every angle etc might help.

 

i'm going to put on the maf today, and i just said there is no CEL...i can't figure out how to get pictures/videos off of my dvd camcorder...the dvd says it's blank when i put it into my computer

 

codes don't necessarily trigger a cel and sometimes the bulb might just be burnt out. put in the new maf and let know if it helped.

 

will do tomorrowmorning...thanks

 

update:

put on the new MAF and put it back to stock. It worked. So, i might just try to replace the airbox with the filter and see if it works, and go piece by piece. Those damn MAFS are so Fragile...by the way, I have one for sale that cost me $90 by the time it got to my door if anyone needs one,
it's an extra and it does work
