Need Some Help with Throttle!!!!!!

Ok Here it goes, I was racing a Honda....I was beating his ***, but then my Max cut off, it wouldn't take in the gas or something....so,I pulled over, shut it down and then it was stalling. My Maxima(My baby) as nice as it is to me, had enough power to take me home...then my baby cut off......
Ok, I have a Place Racing CAI...Now, when I turn on my car, it cuts off at 2000 RPMS...All the electrical stuff is fine, the Fuel pump is fine, I have gas in the car(3/4 full). I know it's not gonna make it to the service department, what should I do, if I can do anything...
For some reason, I think it's the throttle...It take in air, but it stalls a little, then it turns off. Can someone help if possible....thanks guys.

can you rev it slowly past 2500? If you can, its a blow MAF sensor, if you cannot go over 2500 is limp mode most likely. Disconnect battery for 24 hours. Worse come worse. re-install factory air box and remove all evidence of intake. The proceded to dealership.

Thanx guys.....ok, this is what I've done so far....
I took the tube closer to the throttle off and I rev up the engine, and it continued to do the same....Could it be the MAF sensor? I'm gonna give it a shot and disconnect the battery for the day, Man, I really wanted to get out there and ****ing drive.

dam, that's messed up, I just disconnected the battery, I spoke to my friend that works at Nissan service department, he told me that it could be the sensor or if not the throttle, he told me the same, to disconnect the battery, let the computer reset itself, then give it a shot. I think, it's my throttle though, I disconnected my CAI, and reved up the engine, and it kept doing the same ****....we'll see, how it works tomorrow. I need my fix, I need to get out there and race

Did you disconnet your CAI with the MAF still in place? hopefully yes. As I undertand it you disconnected the lower CAI pipe leaving the MAF open so it could still meter the air going in. Im sure its your MAF

Your MAF is gone. Put your stock intake back if your still under warranty and get the car back to Nissan.

If your missing parts and can't get back to stock, yes that'll be a problem. Call DAVEB, his number is in the FAQ, and order a new MAF sensor. Just the sensor not the whole housing too. They run about $70-80 thru him. Either that or see if you buddy can hook you up.
