Blown MAF sensors . . . what year is your Maxima?
People are saying that MAF sensor failures with aftermarket intakes are restricted to 2K2 Maximas. Let's find out.

How is it that the MAF sensor seems to be an unstoppable, wide-spread epidemic in the 5th gen forum, yet only two people have voted???!
And if you vote, could you please post here if you did anything to screw it up yourself? ie: over-oiling, playing craps with MAF sensor, etc, etc.

I would bump this again....we have many people modding their max and the first thing do for most of them is the intake. I would suggest everyone to do some research before they do every mod. and by responding this, we will have a better picture for the next group of people who also want aftermarket intakes.

but one of the most critical potential issues seems to be too much bother...
as a drop in guy who does not think an intake is worth the $$$ or possible aggravation for 'marginal' gains...I have been interested in this to see what other issues may lie in wait for intake purchasers...

Perhaps all those people with MAF problems were just bs'ing us, jjs.

There seems to be a pretty even distribution of blown MAF sensors between 2K/2K1 Maximas and 2K2 Maximas so far. I guess the rumor that blown MAF sensors are isolated to 2K2 Maximas is false. Of course if it weren't false, why would Nissan have issued a TSB for blown MAF sensors covering 2K/2K1 Maximas only?

Yeah, but how many of the 2k2's are on the street compared to the others? Plus I doubt many 2k2 owners have had the chance to mod their intakes yet.

From my experience 1st you think your car has just died then you realize that it is actually still running but with maybe 1/3 of its normal power then you notice the Service Engine Soon light is on...

With this blown sensor deal, so your car goes into limp mode with the ces light on, you bring it to the dealer? Or just reset the ECU by umplugging the battery? I'd like to hear most from the Berk users on this one. This thread is making me nervous.

hmm............. it's interesting that stock cars have been having MAF problems too... especially at 30k!
i am at 41k and i have the berktuning intake. i have not put it in yet because i want to get a stock dyno in first. i have had no problems so far with my MAF (knock on wood). if the MAF blows after i "correctly" install the intake do you guys think its safe to say that it wasnt a MAF problem, but the intake that caused the MAF to go? also, even though Maximam's MAF went bad at 30k... would you think its safe to say that my MAF is okay since i have about 10k more miles than him.
