Stalling Problem w/ 2000 MAXIMA SE 5-SPEED
I have recently been having this stalling problem with my 2000 Maxima SE 5-Speed. What happens is that when I slow down after going pretty fast, the car stalls while in 2nd or 3rd gear as I brake. It starts back up without a problem. It doesn't do this all the time, but it's been doing it quite often now. Someone has told me the Mass Air Flow sensor is bad, someone has told me that the Idle Air Control valve is bad, but I am not sure what to do. Most of the time this happens when I am coming to a stop to make a turn. Any suggestions will help. Btw, there is no check engine light, which makes things more difficult.

i had the same problem, id say MAF 90% chance is ur problem. maybe just clean the iacv and tb when you get a chance, but u may as well order a new MAF from Dave B. if u noticed ur car had been running wierd, other than the stalling......MAF!!!

So, should I try and clean the throttle body, or just go ahead and replace the MAF? Also, should I go with OEM or will an aftermarket part from lets say NAPA do the job? I don't know who DaveB is, sorry. Btw, thanks for responding, I really appreciate it.

There was a thread about this same subject sometime last year and almost everyone fixed the problem with cleaning the TB very well.
