Swapped my blown MAF for a 2003, now more problems..

I recently changed my 2002 blown MAF sensor, to a 2003 Maxima MAF sensor, and now my car doesnt seem to idle. The car will rev past 2500 grand now, but if it does, it stumbling in the low RPMs. What could be the problem? Clean the maf? Any other suggestions?

Reset the ECU. There may be a software update to go with that MAF. When mine was changed out for the TSB they upgraded the MAF and the software.

sounds like something else, New maf does not require a mandatory ecu flash or ecu reset. I reccomend doing a reset, then seeing if check engine light comes on again. If it does, you know MAF was not the only problme.

Already checked for them, and there were none. Car has: rough idle, stumbling on acceleration, cant press pedal more than 50% or the car bogs. Dammit. Also, i've tried resetting the ecu, and the light eventually came back on. Any way to read the codes w/o a scanner??

you need to have the scanner to read the code. you can go to autozone and rent it for free (just put down the deposit for the scanner).
