yeah it sounds more like a dirty thorttle body. i've fixed cars with busted MAF sensors and what you describe to me does not sound like a busted MAF. but like i said, i am no pro and i could be wrong.

 

LOL

 

The G has not acted up since Monday, thanks for your input. I will clean the MAF next week and hopefully this problem will not arise again.

 

Make sure the negative terminal connection is tight on the battery. Mine was loose and it would have trouble starting up

 

I actually just had this happen to me a few days ago. I started my car up and it turned over. After 2-3 seconds the car just died in idle. I was like WTF!?

Has this happened to you before? I have a 2004 G35 Coupe with 55K Miles.. Im getting worried too.

Are there write ups for cleaning all those parts. Ive only seen the walkthrough for cleaning the throttle body on infinitihelp.

 

i would like to see a write up too. i've had this happen to my 03 coupe. i would leave it alone for a bit and then it would start up again later. i can never show anyone because i never know when it's gonna happen. it's been a year or so now since the last time it's happened to me but i should probably clean my throttle body and some other parts.

 

Sounds like WTFitsJUICE and Gs Us have dirty/malfunctioning MAF sensor.

You guys dont have aftermarket oiled air filters do you? Those oils can mess up the MAF pretty easily.

I had this happen on my 2003 G in 2007.

When your engine is cool, its starts fine.

Once the car has warmed up and you turn off the engine and turn it back on before it cools down, the RPM would up like a usual start and then drop to 400, 300, 200 until you stall out.

the only way to get keep your engine on when this occurs is to blip the throttle before it stalls out and it will stay on.

 

i don't think i have aftermarket stuff. i get my oil changed by infiniti or nissan... but mostly nissan now cause they're a lot cheaper. i'll do a search for the MAF stuff but if you guys have an easier way of finding it please post. thanks.

 

the MAf sensor is between your airbox and intake tube. take that apart and you'll see a rectangular sensor (looks like plastic) thats attached to the inside of the tube.

 

what do i use to clean it? is it just dirt that i wipe off or will i need some liquid cleaning stuff?
