From a consult perspective, you can take it to Nissan and have them run a diagnostic scan on it. Consult is the tool they use.
so i found out what is a maf is, mass air flow... i read and saw a video on it but one other thing is that when cleaning the mass air flow should the engine be cold or clean it as soon you turn off your engine.... i also bought some throttle cleaner too. when you mension about clean the throttle body did you meant the inner part of the throttle and the throttle plate? seem easy but tell is there precaution i should know before doing so?

i had the transmission drain and topped off ... that was like at 100,000k . i got it done about twice since i got the car. It does sound like from the tranmission only not the engine..... oh yeah i went and look online about what is MAF is well its mass air flow, and i read and saw a video on how to clean it and it seem easy. i believe. my concern is that when cleaning the MAF do you take senson out when the car is cold or hot.....????? also i bought some thrttle cleaner its STP brand .. i was woundering when u mension cleaning the throttle body did you meant cleaning the inner pair of the throttle as well as the throlle plate???? also tell me what othere serious precaution should i take or know before doing so... i mean should i try and do this and see the problem will solve or just take it to nissan and do a consult first????
