I took my car to an garage and the dude said my maf sensor is gone...
no power after 3rpm and plus i most got beat by civic last night.....
so im guessing, my car maybe makes 160 hp..... probably less than that...
anyways, my throttle is lagging like hell....two weeks ago i replaced the knock sensor because the scanner said my knock sensor was gone.... hopefully i can find a maf sensor and replace it before i get beat by civic in few weeks....
what does everyone else think? scanner didnt pick up the maf sensor yet but im sure it will when my car blows up...
i hope someone can help me!
thanks!

Are you throwing any cels At all. If so, what are your codes

 

use better terminology than "gone"...by gone do you mean not working? CEL?

 

x2. Hitting an rpm "wall" is usually always a MAF. My 2 cents is to buy a Genuine Nissan MAF, as I did. You should have an active Check Engine Light right now.

Oh and stop racing civics until you get your car "straight" or more bad sh*t will happen.

 

^^ agreed...NISSAN MAF's are a good idea, I'm sure someone will chime in on their MAF of a different brand. Mine is NISSAN

Just stop racing civics all together b/c it a I4 against a v6...at least race a mustang v6 or camero v6 or accord 24 valve v6!!

 

YES YES YES AND YES CEL IS ON!! I FINALLY got the readings lol
P0171 and P0174 the shop guy did say something about my maf but i didnt believe him....
anyways, i didnt mean to race civics but i wanted to see how bad my car was lol
anyways, Can i just buy one from ebay that fits? i really dont want to pay $400 from nissan dealer... serious when i can get a $60 for same results....or im completely off lol
please let me know~ thanks!

 

Why not get this one and swap over the thermo

i meant the sensor..... i dont think i need the meter... thanks though.

 

If I am reading you right, you are confusing the same thing. Mass Airflow Meter is a mass airflow sensor. Just different terminology.

Always buy Nissan Genuine for a MAF. Its a sensitive piece of equipment. That link he sent you had a genuine for 90 dollars! I paid 150 for mine.

 

But he doesnt have to swap nothing because he is a 01 not a 02-03
