sounds like the story of the last few weeks of my maxima.. there was a strange noise and then they said they fixed it but then said, oh .. gotta get you a new ECM too because it's not quiet enough. So I was waiting for a month or so just for that part to come in. When it didn't, I went to get my car and traded it in for the yaris.

you better ask/demand them to explain to you what the "other" problem is.

there was no other option.........the Blitz air filter basically let too much air flow into the car which caused it to trip some other codes since it's hooked to a heating mechanism and something else. they had to replace the MAF and then run the car around the block with a computer attached to it. after that it was ok but they had to clear all the bad codes.
$265 for new MAF sensor $135 for initial inspection was all that i was charged for....the guy didn't have me charged for labor so total was $398.92...... a little under the estimated $500 so i guess a little saved is more than nothing.......next up for me is a real CAI instead of a replacement air filter >< possibly AEM

you can focus on ICE since you have your suspension pretty much done.

haha yup yup i still want to upgrade my audio. but for performance (and loudness purposes) i want to drop a CAI into the car and get the greddy axle back exhaust and keep the silencer in it....iono but in my opinion i like how a lil car with a big pooper looks LOL haha

heh, yeah, for some reason, i don't include exhaust mods part of engine mods (yeah, i know it is). yeah, just get a nice axle-back and you won't need a silencer.

well apparently the car had another check engine light. This time it was after the car passed a certain rpm or when i stopped and dropped my sister off at school. maybe one of the 02 sensors is a bit messed up from all that excess air?

yea I'm pretty bummed out myself....all i did was drop in a $140 Blitz replacement air filter (cone type) and currently I have had to pay $398 for it and this Monday I'm sure there will be a "$135" inspection fee and hopefully no more replacing parts >< makes me wish i just dropped a CAI into it......and this car isn't even one year old......

I'd just like to know what other sensors are connected to the MAF sensor...possibly O2 sensors?

alright dropped car off at dealership...but on the way there whenever i signaled or rolled down a window the engine would shut down and restart itself......my car is haunted with bad luck >< i couldn't even pull into the dealership's driveways w/out the car dying on me....really sucks. so i have to pay $135 again for inspection and it has something to do with the electrical now (i have fogs, auto start two-way alarm, alpine headunit and taillights......all installed at another place or by myself and a friend) sooooo..............this is going to take the car away from me for another week maybe? two weeks w/out being able to drive my car w/out any problems >< i want my car back w/out problems!!! ><
