I have the M#0 and recently as I am driving it will just stall out on me. Now with kids in the car this is not a safe thing for me to drop it into N and restart the car 15-20 times in a 10 minute drive. I have asked the neighbor man to come over and look at it though he admits he is not an Infiniti man. But he has helped me change the fuel pump, filter and the problem still continues. I have put Seafoam in the gas to clean everything out. It has some what lessened the problem - I can drive for 3-4 minutes and it stalls out for about 5-10 minutes then I can start it, keep it running and make it home safe. What else can be causing this? I am a single mom and a very low paying job. I do not have much extra to sink into this car. Is it something that can be fixed quickly and cheaply?

you can try cleaning the MAF, which is on the way from the air filter to the engine....pick up a can of MAF cleaner from an autoparts store and spray thoroughly...also spray down the two air intakes further towards the engine from the MAF....

Ok fourdrinie...
I am a mom not a mechanic...what is the MAF???
Is it something I should be able to find or will like the people at Autozone be able to point it out to me? Is it easy to get to?

Mass Air Flow Sensor...
yes, the people at Autozone will be able to point it out to you....you will just need some screwdrivers to remove the plastic housings and gain access.
