I have 2008 Nissan altima. Last month the engine would sputter and then stall while in the idl . The rpms would drop to 500 and die. I took it to 3 shops. Finaly I broke down n took it to a Nissan shop . they found a lady bug caught in the MAF :wtf2: . Now after all of that the car is starting to do it again :cry: . Only it will drop to 500-600 rpm and idle there without stalling and no SES light is on. The car doesn't shake or vibrate at all. I went and cleaned out the MAF and throtle body i put some seafoam intoit around the same time i was having the issue above, but that did nothing to solve it. Should I try replacing the MAF or taking it back to the shop and seeing what it could be. After a lot of research I am now convinced it could be anything from a computer issue to intake manifold control valve to the mass air flow sensor again. Any feed back would be helpful. Thank you.

The altima Does not stall or sputter. The rpms are just really low

I have had MAF issues before due to aftermarket intake. Easy repair = new MAF. The MAF affects the ENTIRE cars performance it's ridiculous. Reset your battery, take it off for half hour then try it again.
