Something wrong with my maxima!

Today I started up my 2003 maxima and a bunch of lights came on! ses, slip. AT check and some others i think. I tried driving it and it wont go 1000 rpm. It hardely moves and you have to keep it floored. Has anybody every heard of this before? I was near the nissan dealer so i limped it over there and droped it off. iIf anybody knows what is going on it would be greatly appreciated!

MAF... my guess.
or
did you beat the crap out of it just before shutting it down last? Might be in limp mode from a good romp as you shut it down.

I was driving it really nice before i shut it off, I thought the maf only put the SES light on tho. and the car will hardely move and it feels like the traction control is always sliping. Oh and the tranny wouldnt shift either.i got it into second once going down a hill and thats it (it is an auto)

You should still be under warranty. Take the car to a dealer and have them fix it. This could be the first failed crankshaft position sensor... or maybe something else.

take advantage of that warranty while you have it, you did pay for it when you bought the car

Hopefully that is what happened and not something new.

Sounds like the MAF to me. Do you have an intake?
