I have a 89 Nissan 240SX, I was told I will need to replace both the Mass Air Flow Meter and Idle Air Control Valve. I check the local auto part shops for the parts and is being told that I will need to know the brand/Make of the Mass Air Meter.

Where can I find a picture of the Mass Air Meter as well as the Idle Air Control Valve?

Also if anyone is in the VA/DC/MD area, please drop me a line. Thanks in advance.

What's wrong with the car?

The MAF is the aluminum part that bolts up against the air filter box and attaches to the intake pipe. It's somewhat rare that these fail.

I can't remember where the IAC is on the SOHC KA. It's probably located somewhere on the intake manifold. Many times, these only need to be cleaned so it stops sticking.

It will turn on but then it just dies.
