So like a dumb*** i bought a 2003 nissan maxima for $1300 ( needed work ) figured it would be an easy fix.. i hooked my code reader up to it and these are the codes that came up.. po174,po113 x2,po1800.. Figured a mass air flow sensor... The car was running and seemed to idle fine, But. When i test drove it, It lacked power and seemed as though it was missing very very badly.... well when i picked it up.. I tried to drive it home.. ( had a friend follow in a truck with a tow strap just incase ) got about 2 miles down the road and it stalled out.. so we towed it... as we were towing it.. it would start for a bit with a very low idle.. then it would die... this went on all the way home... ( 30 miles ) last 5 miles it just wouldnt start.. So i put a junk yard Maf sensor in it.. did not do anything! ( Still wont start ) Any thoughts would be awesome.. for i need to figure out what to do with it... do i have a $1300 paper weight?

 

I don't know about that user name choice...

 

P0174 and P0113 are MAF - replace with OEM or your won't fix the problem


P1800 VIAS control solenoid

 

Do I need to relearn or reprogram the computer after installing the MAF? Yeah I know the name is stupid...

 

Were you drinking and DRIVING!?

 

No, but I would clear the codes so that you know if the problem is solved.
