I just got my new MAF.. going to install it NOW... Will let you guys how it does tomorrow....

 

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW... I just took it for a spin it is a brand new car.. it pushes down to the red line..w/o any complaint, Best mod ever....for $83.00 shipped.. I'm going to get another one...j/k. It is like having the Max brand new.......

 

so did your old one go bad?? or did u just decide to replace it?? cus i think mine is fine, because my car revs up past 3K fine, but has been feeling a bit sluggish, so im thinking about just getting a new one

 

The old one worked fine.... but with the new one in.. the car came to life.. it feels different ...is like a brand new engine.....

 

I got 70k on mine i think is the original one(i bought the car 4 months ago, so i don`t know) now you got me thinking should i change it....if so, where you got it from Dave B.

 

did you just answer your own question? haha

 

yeap, you`re right after reading it i realize that....tnx!

 

according to blackbirdvq, his maf's have slowly and continuously gone down hill... he's on his 4th or 5th. I wonder if we should be changing this thing out every 75k... seems like a worthwhile investment

 

is it worth it to try to clean your maf first? or is that a case of doing more harm than good?

 

is it hard to install?? any pics or write ups?

 

Hey Lontar, did you get the stronger 2k1 MAF or just get an OEM 2000 replacement?

 

I'd suggest getting a new filter to go along with your new MAF otherwise it might sour quickly. Atleast thats what happened to me, changed the MAF and not the filter and a month later it was back in the dumps....live and learn tho.

 

sheeesh

everyone is getting new MAFS, looks like im gonna have to spring and get one

looks like Dave B will be getting a call soon

and yeah lontar, u get the 01 or 00 maf?

and did u reset the ECU or what not? some say u have to , some say u dont

 

The one I got was the 01 MAF updated version. I have an 01 SE but don't know if they use the old one.

 

Some say you actually need to do the ECU update.. but I will do it some other day...$$$$ cannot

 

i just ordered my new MAF from Dave B. $90.00 shipped

 

Lontar: Curious to know if you got the special torx-t20 screwdriver with a dimple in the center OR used some pliers to bring the old one out.

I searched for the "security" torx-t20 screw driver for sometime now -- stopped searching since I have spent more gas trying to find it than the price of the screwdriver.

 

How can I contact Dave B. to get more info?

 

No need for pics or writeups. It's the easiest thing you can do on your car, especially if you have a 2k or 2k1. I put a new one on mine and it's amazing. DaveB's the man.

 

read this thread for a basic writeup and more MAF insight...clickclick

It is pretty self explanatory tho,im doing mine tomorrow or saturday

 

the one DaveB sold me was the one with the whole assembly, so I only remove 4 screws form the airbox, not the MAF itself. DaveB's number 1-888-254-6060

 

I would buy one too if I could find a new MAF for a 2k2 for that price...

 

after mine died i felt no difference after replacing it. i was hoping for some "uumph" but didn't happen.

guess i was one of those whose maf died of a sudden...

 

I was thinking to make all maxima owners happy make little signs and when u see a max in a parking lot putit on their window tell them to visit this site and think about replacing their MAF sensor, I've heard of a lot of stories of people hating maximas because they are slow due to bad MAF sensors and than they sell the car because of that. 99% of the time it is a MAF sensor. Dumb idea or no?

 

I replaced mine at 93k, cause it was dead. Car wouldn't rev past 2500 rpm. The car was awesome with new MAF. Now, at 105k, car feels sluggish, specialy after it warms up. I wonder if MAF is dying again? It pulls great when its cold, but I don't rev it high when not warm. I might have to put in new maf, just to make sure. Could it be clogged cat?? Any ideas, guys?

 

guys can anyone suggest me something to spoil the MAF? my car is under warranty so i want to replace it before my warranty expires.

Or I can buy one (spoiled)

 

hmmm being that Nissan is idiots to you in a lot of ways, I wouldn't try it. Somehow they'll get you paying for SOMETHING or other, or just saying that it's your fault it went bad and not do anything, than your stuck with a car that runs like crap. Just put out the $90 and get one.

 

Has anyone replaced a MAF on a '03 Maxima? My car just hit 75k and I'm wondering if it's something I should get replaced.

 

Is my MAF going? I have slight hesitations, but at 3500 prm i can feel a miss in the engine. It seems to pull steady after 3500.

I have a 2000 se with 88k miles.
