This part regulates the air to fuel ratio. It is found behind air filter and can be cleaned although is very sensative and can sometimes make things worse. Problems will present with a "system too lean" code and the car will feel as if it is not getting gas at startup and in first few moments of acceleration after startup. Price range varies from $100-200 or so for new part. This part commonly sets of the dash light "Service Engine Soon" and will prevent a car from passing emissions inspection.
--For the generation -- A33B 2000-2003 --- the Mass Air flow sensor costs over $400.00.
in the air filter cover
it could be your mass air flow sensor
The mass airflow sensor is installed in the air intake duct If you look at the air filter box it is just to the left on the arm of the box
how do you clean mass air flow sensor on a 1998 Nissan altima? To clean the mass air flow sensor , you need to get a can of CRC mass air flow cleaener frm auto zone, Kragen, Pepboys, Sensor is attached to the tube (next to airfilter). again you need to use mass air flow cleaner ( CRC ). I use this on my ford windstar and Nissan sentra 05 and 95. it runs better after cleaning the mass air flow sensor.
Bad gas mileage. Car studders or shuts off at stop or turns. Black smoke.
no, the MAF sensor is between the air filter and throttle body. the idle controll is at the throttle body.
mass air flow sensor
where is mass air sensor on a1995 nissa xe pu trk
The MAF sensor is installed in the air intake duct * Find the sensor then disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor * Remove the clamp that secures the sensor to the intake duct.Remove the four fasteners securing the sensor to the air filter housing then remove it from the car
On a 1996 Nissan Maxima, the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is typically located in the air intake duct, just before the throttle body. It is often integrated into the mass air flow (MAF) sensor assembly, which measures both the air flow and temperature entering the engine. To access it, you may need to remove the air intake duct or MAF sensor housing.
No it will not run with out it, It HAS to have it.
on throttle body right side
