Anyone know of a good place to buy a NEW mas for a '95? Is it better to get one from Nissan, or is one from Kragen just as good? Is the sensor avail by itself, or do you have to buy the whole unit(housing and sensor)?

Think mine is crapping out......on my way home today, car sputters and dies.....cranked right back up, got another 10 miles down the road, and it did it again.....this time the check engine light came on. I checked for codes, and 0102 came up. I was able to drive it another 20 miles to my house, and as soon as I pulled up in the driveway, it started cutting out again.

 

well if you want to save about $200 and buy a used maf from me for $60 shipped, it is in perfect working condition.

 

Mine was in perfect working condition, up till it crapped out.........I'd rather source a brand new one, but not sure if I want to drop the $$$ for one.
I'll get back to you soon, and see if yours is still avail.
Thanks

Are the sensors not avail by themselves? I know they aren't for my other Nissan.......and again, any difference between Nissan, and one from a parts store?

 

www.car-part.com I paid 45 shipped and it's been on and in fine working order for 2 years and ~ 25k miles.

If you want to spend 4-5x that, www.pinnaclenissan.com, www.thepartsbin.com

 

Any brands I should stay from?? Kragen carries the following:

Cardone, Beck Arnley, Bosch, Python......with Bosch being the only new one, all of the rest are remaned, and all have a 1 yr warranty except Python.

Are they all pretty equal from remaned to new, and are they equal to a new one from Nissan.....which cost twice as much as these?

 

Nissan uses Bosch MAF sensors.

 

Maxima's or other Nissans? Seems like mine says JECS...or something like that.
On a different note.....I checked my maf according to the FSM, and it checked out fine, so I guess it's an intermittent thing. I cleaned it with MAF cleaner, cleaned and re-oiled my filter, and cleared the code.......so I guess I'll drive it, and see if it craps out again

 

well........I'm confused now. I cleaned my maf with some of that maf cleaner, put in a new cheap-O panel filter......and drove it 50 miles so far with no probs. Maybe the maf was just dirty from 12 years of K&N oil???
I guess we'll see.......I'll keep everyone posted
