Mass air flow faults
So recently I had a problem that the car was going into limp mode out of no where...
So I changed my Throttle body, had the ecu calibrated by INFINITI, and the problem persisted.
I would go from first gear to end of 2nd with no problems, the moment 3rd gear hit it was an instant loss of power. Dealer was baffled as NO ECU codes were thrown.
But I did notify them that I had changed the mass air flow about a month ago because i accidentally cracked the housing after I cleaned the air filter. The first question they asked was it aftermarket or OEM.
It was aftermarket.
I got a quote from Infiniti that was close to 500 for the OEM MAF and I was simply trying to be cheap and I opted for another aftermarket MAF... I went to Autozone, Carquest, and DIscount after hitting a dead end with all 3 Mass Air Flow sensors I had no choice but to go with the OEM.
Once I purchased the OEM, well the answer was instant... OEM on the RIGHT

My airflow sensor took a crap but I was throwing the error code indicating that's what was wrong. If you need to visit a dealership you're better off at Nissan, everything costs less....30% less than at the Infiniti STEALERSHIP!

The car would run just fine unless I got on it, and then
