I'm pretty sure the MAF has failed on my 2002, the car won't stay running at all and I just installed an apexi filter a few weeks ago. The stealership wants $550, but I heard that I can get one for a 2001 and do the temperature sensor replacement. I thought there was a write up on this. Anyone help me out ASAP, my car is stuck on the side of the road. Thanks

 

These might help...

i had my car in the shop, well when i got it back it felt terrible. They must have dsiconnected the battery and it is in "learn" mode. After about 3000, the engine kicks back and i cant acceleate. Acceleration sucks throughout the entire band. This is not what i expected coming from a maxima a 2 cyclinder.

 

I disconnect my battery all the time... never experienced any "learn mode" like you're describing...

 

I bought the 2001 MAF and placed the thiristor in it, car runs great. Thanks for all the help the . org has done for me .

 

What does the screen in the front of the maf sensor do??? Does it need to be there or does it restrict airflow?

 

probably just a safety precaution. I don't see it really restricting any air
