Thread: SIGNS OF A BAD MAF sensor

What kind of issues are you having? Perhaps we can help with that to begin with.

Car will not idle with the maf unplugged.

That seems like a pretty descent leak or it simply is a bad maf. Did you check the voltages?

well check this videos this is whats going on with my car, first it started running fine and while i was driving the car would turn off and wouldnt turn back on, its like it was working fine on the first miles and then all of a sudden it would turn off and wouldnt start. I change my fuel pump thinking it was shot, also i replaced my distributor but its still doing the same thing, at this points the car sometimes idles normal and runs fine but then all of a sudden it hesitates and ides really bad and shuts off. check the videos so you know what im talking about

this is on your 99 se-r right?

after watching the video, I'm leaning more towards a sticky iacv. since they're a pain to get at, check for vaccum leaks first.

its on my 96 ser vvl swaped 200sx replaced most of the vaccum hoses already, i also cleaned the iacv.

where can i find a cheap voltage meter? autozone im going to have to check that out today, im also going to look for cracke pipes

They sell crack pipes at autozone?

check Harbor Freight for volt meters.

well im going to go ahead and buy a voltage meter and let you guys know whats going on.

update i bought a multi meter and my maf readings are 1.2 volts, i would like to know whats the voltage suppose to be at for a n60 maf? i also replaced the distributor and spark plugs, car idles fine when warm but still shuts off when its on idle or at driving speed.

That's a decent reading for an N60. I wish mine was that high haha.
