Hello,
My maxima has been running really weird lately. It all started after an oil change I recently did. I had a CEL light so during the oil change I figured that I would try to get rid of it by unplugging the negative and in doing so reseting the ECU. After that i took it for a spin around the block and it had good power until 3,500 RPM's and then it seemed like the transmission slipped or so I thought for a couple days until now. Now I think it is the MAF because it is precisely at 3500 that the problems start. Can i just clean my MAF??? I going to college in about half a month and i really dont have the money to spend on getting a new one if it is possible just to clean it and have it work again.

my MAF sensor went bad two days ago and i was unable to even drive my car because it would keeping stalling out when i put it in drive. so i had it towed to my mechanic and he was unable to get it fixed because nissan upgraded the sensor and requires them to reprogram the computer. so i had to get it towed again to a nissan dealership. they intially told me that it would be $250. then yesterday they call me and say that after they fixed it that my check engine light went back on. said they would be able to fix it but need another hour of labor, so since i have no choice i agreed, then they call me again saying that they are going to keep the car over night. i think that they fu*ked up the cars computer because they guy said that all the lights on the dash board stay on now. so i feel like i am slowly by slowly getting raped!
if you replace your MAF call DaveB 1-88-254-6060, he will sell you the 01 updated one for $89. Theonly thing you have to do is remove 4 screws and put the new one in. NO ECU REQUIRED..... unless you trust NISSAN.. if you know what I mean..... good luck....

Could you please fix the phone#? I need to order a new MAF.
Hey does this happen to you only when the trannies cold, also is it a automagic, cause my tranny shifts hard when its cold but after it warms up its ok, if you have auto then its probably the tranny if after it warms up its ok then its tranny, but if not then its probably the maf also go to autozone have them check your cel light and they can tell you what it is.
