Well got this again.

Cleaned my mass air flow sensor a few years ago and cleared the code.

Came back again recently. Even after cleaning sensor and resetting code.

Reset the hose near intake valve and checked for leaks.
Clear code again, so far no issues.

Might re clean maf sensor better though and not rush it.

Plan to change both oxygen sensors with cheap ones I found on ebay.

I'm sure nearly 10 yr old ones have carbon on it.

Trying fuel system cleaner since I can't get to my injectors since lack of those skills.

Don't want to go to dealer for now since I spent nearly $800 to replace intake manifold gasket , coolant hose, and a radiator flush a few days ago.

Top off with quarter of a quart of synthetic oil since they did work on the manifold gasket.

Runs pretty smooth but not perfect as b4.

Using techcron injector cleaner until my cans of b44k fuel system cleaner arrives that I'm giving a try.

Can't change fuel filter with our hard setup.

Hoses seem pretty ok for decade old stuff.

Code might reappear again in few days, but hope not.

I hope the code doesnt reappear for you. I know this is a highly debated topic, but maybe start using fuel injector cleaner every time you do an oil change. I have always done that and will continue to do that. Some people tell me it's a waste but I've been doing it this long so point in stopping now.

It hasn't so far.

Feels smooth as b4 since I added the techron.

Still waiting for the B44k in the mail.

Too cold to reclean my mass air flow sensor and I'm lazy.

I bet my fuel injectors are dirty since I have crappy e10 gasoline in my area.

Bet the storage tanks are not very clean.

Seems a pain in the a** to replace or clean them by watching youtube.

Damn govt and the corn gas crap we have to use.

I will be regularly trying these fuel/injector cleaning additives since that's better than nothing until I know if my fuel injectors are a problem of course.

Snake oil or not.

Even though we could take care of this issue, nissan owners still could have their transmissions blowing up anyway, no offense.

But for now the Rogue is running as smooth as ever.

Will change the O2 sensors since it seems pretty easy still.

Have had to many major issues with my 9 yr old rogue,

It has been pretty dependable with the normal maintenence / repairs.
