MAFs???

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 8:09 am

ok im down with most of the jargon used when talking 'car talk', but i always hear MAF being thrown around and i dont know what it means or does, im assuming its MASS AIR FLOW meter, but i dont know exactly what it does, and go figure, i blew mine on my car and if it werent for warranty id be out damn near $800, anyway, i htink this is very important when it comes to modding , so what exactly is the damn thing?? :help

I was wondering the same thing?But I know that if he was using a CAI the dealer would not have covered the part.S im guessing something else is the cause.

i dunno guys, it was wierd, i was at about 15k on the car, jus got gas and was running home at about 1oo+ and then it jus hit, i dramtically lost speed and it wouldnt let me rev over 2500, so i thought, crap i have water in my gas, so i got some STP, but it still didnt work, so i took it inot the dealership and they told me it was my MAF, and that they replaced it and gave me a whole new intake, and that if i didnt have warranty it woulda cost me over a damn grand to fix it, i was jus curious as to exactly what they did, and no the car was 1oo% stock, no filter or nothing changed

do you know if it was an 02 or 03 intake?I herd that the 03 has better airflow(on the 3.5 not sur about the 2.5)I really need to check into this!:)

If it looks the same then its most likely the same.I was told that the 2003 on the 3.5 was designd diff to produce some extra hp?I dont know how true it is...Im still looking,I should know on Fri?

Nissan has had MAF problems in some models, common symptoms include misfire and stall. I seen it on a few Sentras where the MAF was replaced as per recommendation by Nissan Tech Line.

well like i said, i know they replaced mine, and they said i have a whole new intake, im jus not sure wich year it is from, and i didnt feel any power difference at ALL, not that i would expect to on an o3, but seems like the same car to me
