Thread: sick and tired of this car

It'll do that anyway. It can run the car in limp mode up to 3k rpm with the maf disconnected.

ahhhh the new guys........welcome to Nissan buddy.......PITA!!!

And please for the love of GOD, learn to spell, use puncutation, etc.

It's hard as hell to read what you're saying to begin with, so it's very difficult for most to even comprehend your issue. When I see half-assed posts, I generally skip over them since they're distracting me from helping you solve your issue.

Your problem is in the MAF circuit somewhere, which is why you are getting a code for the MAF. I suspect it is in the wiring somewhere, but could be faulty ecu, ground, maf plug or the maf itself although it seems as though you tried that.

you know what ikt might be the plug... do you know how to fix that?

would a knock sensor going out cause my problems

No.

Knock sensor is not required for engine operation.
IACV is not required.
TPS is not required.
ECT is not required.

Literally, the only sensors the computer absolutely needs to run are the MAF, and Dizzy.

Is this car turbo? Because you could have an issue with a blown intercooler pipe. Either way, there is a problem with maf. You could have a major intake leak. Look for any leaks after the maf, sometimes they can be very hard to see. But something is going on here, and it sounds like a simple problem.

yup my buddy had a similar problem.. the ecu was throwing the code for the maf. and all it was was the wiring fix the plug and bam car ran like a champ!!

what do you mean by "the wiring fix the plug"?

there was a wiring issue with the plug, which once fixed, alleviated the issues.
