Mass Air Flow (MAF) is busted. Try a quick search on this site or read the stickies.

Anyone with a busted one want to help? Mine has not gone yet.

If it is stock, check the filter to see if it jammed with anything (highly unlikely though).

Sounds like the MAF. It is the the black plastic cylinder( with the wire loom attached to it) on you air intake system.

Call DaveB or your local Nissan dealer. There's also other places that other people have used to get one... Jerry Rome Nissan? Do a search for it... there are plenty of threads where people have mentioned where they got their MAFs...

That's the AM600 MAF... you don't need it, you can get the cheaper one for like $90... DaveB's number is in the FAQs...
