i was driving today...and all of sudden the car just shutdown
without any warnings.....
I was lucky that I just got off the highway, and was driving on a slower road. I had it towed to nissan.....at there they determined it was the MAF.
They were gonna charged me $500.00 for the sensor, but I told them I want to buy the one from 2001 for $100.00 (which I did....ordered)
and they also charged me $90.00 to put on the new software.

yup.....
1.1 hr for the labor
ALSO THERE IS A TSB OUT FOR THE MAF sensor.....so if you have 2k2-2k3....go get it done. They will give you new MAF sensor (the whole assembly) and new air box, and also update the software

I am up to a total of over 1000.00 in savings for Org members by giving this advice (three people had dealers tell them they needed to spend big bucks for a new MAFS, which worked fine after I told them to clean it.) Anyone who has ever had a MAF sensor fail with an aftermarket intake needs to try and clean it first.

actually the 1st time that it failed, is b/c I put too much oil on it.
so, this time I didn't clean it, instead I bought a new filter.....thinking that would solve the problem....but i guess it didn't
