Mass air flow sensor replacement. Still problems.

The problems first started as a cold start problem, car would start, but would need to idle for 10 seconds or so before I drove it, or it would hesitate badly. If I let it warm up, it would be fine.

I called a local radio car mechanic, he said my valves were covered with carbon, and just run some bg44k throught it, it should clear it up. Did that, didn't work.

About a month later, on my way to work, the car hesitated badly, and never recovered, it wouldnt' go over 60mph. Took it to the dealer, said MAF, $733 to fix it. I told them I knew where the MAF was, not to fix it, I would do it myself. Paid $89 for the nissan diagnostic, $174 for a MAF from an Texas car parts place (internet buy) and did it myself. Worked perfectly. ran fine. That was 2 weeks ago. But still sometimes, it wants to hesitate slightly during driving. The passengers doesn't feel it, but driving the car, you can feel it barely once in awhile. Today, I had the ac on, put it in reverse, and it hesitated a little worse than normal, almost to the point of stalling. Anyone have a clue?

My 05 had somewhat of the same problem, mine would have low rpm's and when put in drive would turn off.
Took it to the dealer and they said it was the ecu, they reprogramed it and it runs fine now.

you paid 175 for the MAF ?? ouch, i droped 100 on it...and you can find em on ebay for cheaper....anywho.....

If you changed the MAF....and it should be working properly....I suggest, checking your plugs , fuel filter, and air filter.....

Also, got any ECU codes going ??

Might be time to check your 02 sensors also.....

Cheers.

$175 WAS the lowest ebay price! The guy never replied to my emails, so I bought from an online dealer. Plugs replaced 25k ago, air filter new, ECU codes, I did have one, but it went away when I put the new maf in it. Don't recall the number, but it was "bank 1 and bank 2 to lean"
