Well i got a new maf put in my 2001 maxima se in june because the car wouldnt start, but today while I was driving and i realized my car had been on 500-1000 rpm. While I'm breaking it goes all the way to 0. I was like ohh noooo! Then it stalled/ stopped. It wouldnt move or turn on. After little while i got my car started and i drove a bit and there was no ses light. So I drove down the road stopped and then it happened again so I parked it and get it towed in the morning. Can my MAF be acting up again even if i put it only 6 months ago? Or could it be something else? By the way, now the ses light is on all the time. I wont know until tomorrow what the issue is.

Proper Grammar please

5th gens have a replaceable one, 5.5 gens you have to clean the throttle body to clear up the problem.

what are you? 4 years old? Honestly, you may think "Oh, it's just the internet, I can type however I want", but it makes it real hard for the people who you are asking for help from to understand how to help you.

I don't know WTF you just said dude. Use commas and periods and propper grammar. It makes you seem like you're a child when you type like that.

Clean your tb and +1 if that doesn't work on iacv.

Alternator and/or battery quite possibly. Like others have noted, could you at least Try and use proper grammer and punctuation?
