On this 2003 Nissan murano it showed to have a mass air flow sensor code. Before spending top dollar replacing, why not cleaning it

I have never in my life commented on a KZbin video. After siphoning fuel (to remove water that wasn’t there) replacing the spark plugs, and pulling/testing the fuel pump on my armada....I found your video. Mine wasn’t a piece of fuzz but a small mosquito. Could not believe something so small would prevent the truck from getting past 2k rpm. No more hesitation, running great. A million thanks!

[@OzMechanics]

SCBiggie I’m so glad you got your vehicle fixed. Thanks for watching

[@fshboat950]

After a week of trying to get my daughters 2006 Altima to idle I found your video last night. This morning I did exactly as you in the video. A small piece of trash fell out. Sprayed with MAF cleaner, let dry and reinstalled. Cranked it up, idled and ran fine during a test drive. Thank you sir!!

[@michellegray4018]

I love that you investigate why the part is not working instead of just replacing the part!

I should have watched the video before I bought the Sensor for a hundred bucks!!! Thanks for taking the time to make and post this...

I was so pleased to watch this. After being all over KZbin for what I believe to be an air flow issue, you were the only one to show the tach and explain what your problem vehicle was doing. My initial start rpm went to 600, disengaged MAF start held 1200 rpm at idle. Wow. Thanks to you, this might be where I need to start looking. I will let you know how it goes later. Need to buy cleaner but nothing open here at 6:30 pm. Off to supper, laundry, homework and chores for tonight. Sincerely, single mom, Full time RN.

[@Geowhiz48]

Thanks for the video OZ. Very helpful to someone who know very little about MAF sensors.

[@amysaylor-clemente3103]

Thank you thank you thank you. I had the same issue but it was a piece of plastic from the old air filter that fell out of the sensor. Car runs perfectly now.

[@OzMechanics]

im glad your vehicle is good now. thanks for watching

[@Matic.1998]

someone can help me please, thanks.

[@Matic.1998]

Oz Mechanics hey man, i cleaned it, and it seem to be fixed, but it keeps stalling and also i gotta hit the gas lots of times so the temperature goes up until it reaches the middle or either the car would, well, turn of and it shakes, and after that its normal, and if i let it rest for 2 hours the engine gets cold and i got to do the same thing again, i clean the throttle and clean the MAFS and also replaced the thermostat so idk, i have a 2001 toyota corolla so if someone can help me please, thanks.

[@kofthebaskervilles]

It's amazing that part worked after you banged it on the desk!

[@albclean]

Mine has two fine filaments that would break easily by doing that.

[@sushpants]

Unbelievable!!!!! I had the same thing happen and I check my maf. There was a little piece of a leaf in there... such a big thank you!!

Glad this video helped out

[@stevelochhead3620]

I thought that was a good video and quite informative. You seem like a nice, honest man....my hat's off to you. My girlfriend has a 2012 Nissan Sentra and her "check engine" indicates Mass Air Flow Sensor (module) so we'll try the clean first. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

[@yermo130]

Awesome video and the best part to you are honest I do most repair in my cars I'm a vw & audi fan and most fails for these cars are relate to the map sensor when is about loosing power or boost 2.0 vw jetta sometimes give you this trouble just because the map is dirty or also the throttle body 1.8 turbo manifold pressure/boost sensor (g31) p0238 code is also relate to the map sensor only takes 10 minutes clean it clear codes and your back with not lights ..this could sometimes the cure at least you have some leaks or wire bad connections ..I'm not a mechanic i just a simple computer tech that goes beyond my knowledge keep the good work my friends greetings from Houston..

I'm having that problem on my BMW X5 right now... I already ordered the part right now before watching this video but tomorrow when I go pick up the part I'll try to clean the old one and put it and see if the problem persists and I will return the new part 😉 Thanks

[@kalebbennett4833]

Good information. Very helpful...

[@kurtraygmail]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2000 Mercedes ML430 but this video answered my questions. I have already ordered a new Bosch air flow sensor so I missed the opt of checking for it being dirty, blocked, etc. But, I have 180,000 miles so it's not a big loss, the way I figure it. I bgt it for $138 instead of $399 retail or $260 from my mechanic. Amazing what parts cost. I don't see over $15 dollars worth of material in it. Maybe I should get in the making-air-mass-sensor business!

[@johnferguson7235]

Always vacuum the air box when changing the air filter. You have to get any loose debris out of there. Use top quality air filters and change them on schedule. If you live in a dusty area, you will need to change the filter more often.

[@OzMechanics]

Why didn't your air filter , filter out the Deerfly, DT ??
