well after my car being in the body shop for a week and a half and finally get my car back today ....i had a bad feeling about something and sure enough a turn the corner and press the gas and there goes my MAF Sensor

this **** sucks.....i couldnt even enjoy my car for 15 seconds...now i have to either put my stock intake box back on and leave my car at the dealership or try and find an MAf sensor part # ending with AM600

anyone know of a salvage yeard near by that might have one... i would like dealer to be a last resort i dont trust them

-J

 

why don't you call Dave B. I think he has them for around 100 bucks

 

you dont need the entire MAF..just the inside sensors....

 

for the 5.5 gen they dont sell jsut eh sensor and the 100 sensor that DAVEB sells doesnt work for the 2k2s-2k3s beacuse those 2k1 sensors dont ahve air temp sensors built in


ps now my car start but then stalls right after is that normal??
-J

 

that sux bro......much love kid......good luck in an affordable solution

 

I just use a 2k1 MAF. It work fine. Just thr SES light stays on but i am use to it now.

 

ok i ordered a 2k1 MAF overnight delivery and gonna put that in temporarily until i can go to the dealer to get the new MAF and update my ECU

-J

 

updating ECU doesn't even fxxxing work.
I'm on my 4th MAF and have a extra one in the car just in case.
i know how you feel, i haven't even go full throttle in my car for about 1/2 yr now

 

uve blown 4 5.5 gen MAFS right?? cuz my 2k1 bette rnot blow before next week when i bring it to the dealer

-J

 

nope
one of them is for 2k1-2k

 

and about your car being shut off right after you start....just unplug ur MAF and you should be able to go to around 2500rpm

 

You dont have to worry about not having the air temp thing on the 2k1 maf. Ive already had and fixed that problem w/o spending anymore money. read this thread.

I hope this won't happen to me since I have an 03.

 

is your car still under warranty? why can't you have the maf sensor replaced by the dealer? (you can try another dealer)

 

hey biomax, are you running an intake, if so what kind?

 

frankencar

 

hey PhxBlue You Have PM!!!!

 

Is the MAF sensor covered by our 3/36 warranty? If so...then is it covered by the 60k engine/tranny warranty?

Edit: Another question....After reading that other thread that PHXBlue posted about the following picture:



Does this mean we can order the $80-$100 part from Dave B. and run the 2k1 MAF sensor without a problem on the 02 if we just switch that little wire over? Or am I missing something?

 

You are absolutely correct Hamy.

 

thats make me very happy right now.... thanx PhxBlue

you should have posted this as an informative thread

-J

 

omg omg omg this sounds too good to be true, i cant wait to get my intake and not have to worry about the MAF!!!

 

Remeber people. This is not a suggestion, ive already done it, it works like a charm.

 

i love you

 

same here

 

PhxBlue


Thanks so much man...you helped me so much with this info!!

 

Just doing my civic duty for my fellow Max homies.

 

PhxBlue = Bad A$$! I ordered my intake as well, and am almost resigned to the fate of blowing maf(s). Thanks for the headsup. If something does happen, it wont be as expensive to remedy.

BTW, Im saving the AZ Max thread and this thread on the computer for reference.

Love the org.

 

Wow nice, this is good stuff... (I don't have a 2k2+ but it's great for advising people who do and blow their MAF)

 

just to make sure, what little wire are we talking about that needs to be switched?

 

What intake are you getting?

 

How can we get in contact with Dave B? I just got a Berk intake and if I blow my MAF I have a 50 mile round trip to work and I don't want to be stranded on the highway.

 

Its that shiny lil "J" shaped wire in the middle of the MAF sensor on the right.

 

I have blown up 5 of my 01 MAFs in my 01 Maxima GXE 5spd with a Place Racing CAI, I have 3 spare ones- with one in the car at all times. I had Nissan repleace 3 of them under warranty, and I had to shell out 54 bux each for the damn sensor. The whole sensor assembly is around 120 bux if I remember correctly. Nissan has a new housing the MAF sits in that I belive has no screen or has a screen in it. I WOT my car every chance I get, no MAF problems since I got the new redesigned housing and sensor piece. But I don't wanna jinx myself into being on the side of the road tomorrow with a blown MAF and switching it out...... The no.4 one that blew wouldn't even lemme start the car. Part # for the 01 MAF is 22680-AD210.

 

Hey, Guys It Work!!! I Tried Today And It Works!!! So Now I Don't Have To Pay $400 Of A 2k2. Just Get A 2k1 And Replace The Wire!!
Thanks U Guys!!!

 

When my MAF blew, I took it to the dealer. I had about 40,000 miles on the car and they told me that Nissan issued a TSB for the MAF and that it was covered up until 50,000 miles.
You might want to try calling just to see.

 

MAF is part of the emissions warranty, which in terms is part of the powertrain warranty- which is 5/60K. I'm way past that on my 01 Max. Plus my cars are known by this dealer- cause I worked there, so they know how beat up shiat gets by me. I had like 3 or 4 covered under warranty, I know I'm runing a 6th MAF now- for about 8 months now... knock on wood it lasts.

 

Berk Intake

 

I guess its all bout luck

my 2k3 has the stillen intake on it and for almost 9k no problems

 

Does anyone know where I can buy just the round housing for the maf instead of the whole thing. I you do please PM me cause I dont want to spend 300-400 on the whole thing.

 

But Heath, don't 03s have better MAFs that aren't that sensitive?
