hey guys
I need help with my car. I have a 02 maxima 6 speed. Today I was teaching my wife nephew on how to drive a manual vehicle. I notice during the lesson on how to drive a manual car that my car was idling rough and when I rev the car above 2.5 rpm it will back fire and almost shut off. Then I took it for a ride and when I rev the car at 2.5 rpm it's shuts off. I drove it home below 2.5 rpm. Also I have a aftermarket air filter. Would this be Maf sensor going bad. Please help me out guys. I have 99067 miles on it.

thanks

 

you need a MAF sensor.... just got through this problem about 4 days ago lol

 

yep - sounds like a MAF

 

I just drove it around my house and on the high way and its fine now. can just be a sign its getting bad. I did 60mph + on the highway and its idling ok.

 

check ur main cat. it could be clogged!

 

When my maf was going bad, it did the same. It would fail on me, then I'd simply turn off the ignition and turn it back on and it would be fine for another few weeks.

 

Thanks guys
I'm gonna replace my mass flow sensor tomorrow

 

Just in case no one said it, MAFS

 

MAF!

 

I replace the MAF but now I am hearing a ticking sound like if the car is out of oil. I check the oil level and its fine. I hear it when the car is at idle and when I am driving its gets louder. I hear it at the back of the engine. The car have 99000 on it now.

 

This is the sound I am hearing.

I would at least clean the MAF or replace it.
