Can anyone recommend one that has given good results for a 1996 Se Maxima? I've seen the used ones on EBay but was looking into other alternatives. I've been having stalling issues when slowing down at a stop. I've tried cleaning the sucker, TB and changed the ects but without luck.

 

Do you have any codes? Have you check'ed for a vacuum leak?

 

Try cleaning your IACV. The MAF is not your problem.

 

Check your IACV per fsm

 

No CEL on right now..did not check for vacuum leaks.

 

Cleaned iacv and car ran great going to destination 20 mins away. It felt stronger.
4 hrs later, started the car and let it idle for 10 mins and put it into reverse and it cut off. This happened twice. Started the car and revved the engine and was able to put in reverse without cutting off. Drive home was good. I have not started the car in 2 days to check if it will still have issues.

 

I google'd the part for my 99 max until i found the lowest price.. and it works find.. i paid around $50.

 

Cardone from autozone $214.99+$40.00 core i know because i replaced it and my car runs great

 

Yea Cardone is an good brand too next to OEM of course, I have a new Cardone in my 2000 SE and it works great I didnt pay nearly that much though.

 

how much did you pay for yours and where?

 

$140, I would have preferred to get an OEM one but I was stuck in a bind being at a shop(Meineke)...he tried to charge me $235 and I kindly explained to him that I wasn't paying that much and I can get a OEM one from a dealer for much much cheaper(Yea it was that easy to talk him down literally haha). Then he gave me that price which I was willing to do so I could get outta there. He went down ALOT which makes me think he was trying to get me to pay for money they lost somewhere else idk but I felt like 140 was good having seen the prices for those Cardone MAF sensors. I have to thank the org for my knowledge of being able to handle that situation.

 

@biglou - if it was a legit cardone, you got a really good bargain

 

yes it is legit, I checked after I left the shop(I always check ANY work done to my max immediately afterwards). I tend to always ask for lower pricing on parts at shops because the worst they can say is no.
