what the heck.. who else is having this problem? I resetted the ECU and the car chokes. I nearly totally stalled on the way to work today. it had better NOT be the MAF. I have the Injen CAI. help, please.

 

it's not the intake but your second guess sounds right

 

what the [insert expletive]?!?!?! oh man.... who else has had this problem??

 

Does your car idle funny. Make sure your MAF sensor is connected properly. Check all Vaccume lines you may have moved, maybe somthing came out. If all Checks ok, you got Busted MAF

 

if your stalls o tries to stall when you floor it but might idle fine then it is probably your MAF sensor. this happens alot with our car. call DaveB. he has them for pretty cheap. do not call nissan parts department, they will try to sell you the entire system($400-$500)

 

wonnnnnderful! i'll go check right now.

 

some people have cleaned the MAF... search and see how they did it and you might save yourself a dealer visit.

 

<i>if your stalls o tries to stall when you floor it but might idle fine then it is probably your MAF sensor.</i> ???

 

put it this way, If you start your car and it idles at 1100, you press a little gas it idles at 1800 and stays, you press gas hard it goes up and comes right back and idles at 1500, your MAF is busted.

 

hmm.. i didn't get that when i just started it up... but when i started up the car, it was a rough idle... then when it idled a little longer, it was fine.

how much does it matter that i have an exhaust? would the lack of stock backpressure affect anything?

 

It doesnt. Check and make sure EVERYTHING is tight, and like everyone else said, check ur vacuum lines. The 2000 MAFs are way better than the 02-03 ones we are stuck with..

 

thanks for the tip. yeah, i just checked all the hoses and they're snug. i'll reset it tonight and see if it affects anything. yay.....

 

I disconnected my battery for about two hours and also I did a ECU reset and everything works great now!!

 

You sure the intake is properly sealed from the MAF to the throttle body? If air's sneaking into the engine behind the MAF, it'll stall (since the MAF won't see it coming in)...

I'd THOROUGHLY check that out before splurging for a new MAF sensor!

whoop, nevermind, someone already suggested (hoses/etc)

 

wait a bit. it may come back up again.

i didn't have this issue at all when i had the JWT intake

 

sanks. will check tonight. too busy at work. heh.

 

It Just came to me and this is a key point Between the MAF Body and MAF Adapter Plate, There is a Small Rubber Gasket, MAKE SURE THAT RUBBER GASKET is Seated Properly

 

I thought i had checked that. would that little bit of leak do that much damage? hrmm..

 

Clean your throttle body as well. That might cure some of your rough idle. www.motorvate.ca

 

ooh.. this'll be a project in a couple weekends later... leaving for taiwan on thursday. heh..
this one? http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/518

 

i disconnected my battery for 2+ hours & when i reconnected....no more rough idle....just something u can try as well

 

yeah.. did that already, buddy... poop. I'll check it out when i get the chance. argh.

 

That's the one

 

I forgot to put back the little round rubber gasket on my Frankencar, but everything seems to be OK *knocks on wood*.
