has anyone had any problems of the sort with a GAB and OSCAI??

 

The MAF failures are not directly related to the intake. It's just how fast/slow the MAF fails. If you use an aftermarket intake with a defective MAF, it will fail faster than the stock one.

And to go one step further, the MAF itself (except for the 22680-6N200) is not a defective part. The ECU is what causes the MAF to fail by sending too much voltage through the element, which causes it to burn up and fail.

 

Also a lot of ppl have MAF problems because their filter had too much oil on the filter..

 

PCGuRu2K is correct for the 2000-2001 models.

For the 2002-2003 models, it's basically a defective MAF and/or a bad ECU program. There is a TSB released to fix the 2002-2003 models.

 

i have a 2k3... so if i find the tsb, can i still go get it replaced, as to prevent any problems down the road? even tho i have had no problems yet?
after doing this.. should i not have a problem then with MAF failures even if i decide to get an intake/GAB??

 

as long as u have 22680-6M600 MAF part #, you should be ok

 

dunno part #.. heh

 

its on the front of the MAF tube facing front of car...you need to remove the air box to see it

 

It has been my experience w/ Nissan... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Everytime I take my car in for a TSB fix, it comes out worse than when I took it in. Just ride it till it breaks, then you will "know" that you had the problem.

 

Studman,

"the MAF itself (except for the 22680-6N200) is not a defective part. The ECU is what causes the MAF to fail by sending too much voltage through the element, which causes it to burn up and fail."


I have a MAF sensor #22680-6N200. Does that mean I have a defective part? Where can I go to read more about this? I have been reading the TSBs but can't find anything that mentions the MAF's.

 

I'm planning on a long road trip next week. But after visiting this forum for awhile now I have noticed a lot of people posting about their blown MAF sensors. Should I just buy an extra MAF sensor in case of an emergency? I drive a 2k2 maxima with a franken car midpipe and a stillen hi flo. My MAF sensor part number is #22680-6N200. If anybody knows anything please reply to this post. =) Thanks.

 

last... desperation... bump... before... completely... giving up...

 

stoneant: Yes, you have a defective part. Look at my homepage (at the bottom) for the link to the TSBs that I've stored. Get the one for hesistation/lack of power and visit your dealer for a fix.

Also in the 5th gen FAQ is a link to the threads about the defective MAFs (if it's not there, let me know and I'll put it there).

 

you rock studman. thanks.

 

I have read the TSB and the thread on what to do when you get a defective MAF on the FAQ. However, I could not find where it says that my #22680-6N200 MAF sensor is defective. I am going to the dealer tomorrow and I know how they like to work against us so I am thinking of a solid case to build before going in. Is there a thread that talks about the #22680-6N200 sensors?

 

No, but if you try to order that part from the parts counter, you'll find that is has been discontinued. Just argue about the lack of power and hesistation when you visit the dealer.... and take the TSB with you to show them your point. If they won't fix it, find another dealer.
