replaced maf with maxima and it is awesome!!

[pathfinder9035]

it is all true and it totally works. today i was testing it on the back roads and i think i did a 7 second 0-60 so i definitely works. i also replace the filter and throttle body gasket. now my pathfinder runs like a charm again. now i got to fix those damn o2 sensors so i dont get bad gas mileage

[02pathfinderle]

so chaning the MAF with the maximas MAF makes the pathfinder alot faster?

how is the gas milege worse?

i never heard of doing this before

what year maxima and wat yr is ur path

[ReKleineR]

Hmm, yeah what year Maxima, and what year Pathfinder do they work on?

[Qxxx4]

i have 2 codes for my o2 sensors...have had them for a while...yet i get pretty much same gas mileage as everyone else.....i dunno if it makes a diff...or maybe my ECU is being a jerk and trying to make me blow my money

ok just to make things clear it does not make the pathfinder faster. it just restores the power. the guy at nissan looked at me like i was an idiot but it works! i just felt like doing an 0-60 today just to make sure it is back to normal and i got around 7 to 8 seconds accroding to my phone. i have a manual so it makes things alot faster:-) now i got to fix my o2 sensor because when my number 2 coils were bad my engine was misfireing in cylidner number two i kept on driving with it doing that and i think that screwed up my o2 sensors because of gas not being burned so it stuffed all that un burnt gas into by cat probably screwed that up too i just dont know it. a bad o2 will affect fuel economy usually by up to 3 or 4 mpg if all of them are dead. so today i replaced the maf with a maxima one after reading forums about it. and now it is back to normal. here is the part number for the maf sensor 22680-2y001. it only cost me 128 instead of the pathfinders 450 dollars.

so if i have a 2002 pathfinder i would need a MAF sensor from an 02 maxima? is it direct fit?

[pathfinder9035]

no.... You have an 02 with the exact 3.5 as the the 01 so u want to get the 2000 maxima maf...or bring this part number to them 22680-2y001. the 2002 maf's are different because of higher outputs and different things that the newer maxima vq's has so agaiin do not get the 2002 maxima maf...use the above part number. and becareful when istalling the maf yourself.
