CEL - P0505

Ok, so I did a search through the forum as to what this means, but nothing specifiacally comes up. Is there any common specific problem associated with this code??

I went to the local Auto Zone and had them plug in the box. The print out gives me information on what the problem might be on a Toyota and Domestic car. Nothing specific on my Max or even a Nissan.

I know my car needs a new MAS but Ive been putting it off for a while now (financial probs from divorce). Sorta short on cash.

Suggestions anyone?? The car runs fine when warm but now it does a surge thing when its cold along with common hard start problem associated with the bad MAS. Sorta like morning sickness.

When my car got that code it needed a new tb.
You need to do the idle air volume learning procedure hopefully that i'll take care of it.
