The NRMA guy unpluged the AFM and the car start up and stayed on

zei20l

unplug the AFM and try to start the car. if it starts, buy a new AFM. if it doesnt start, its something else. might be one of the CAS's

Do you think I need a Fuel Pump or a new AFM?

Could be a dirty intake manifold. When I first bought my car, I had the same issue. It happens when the engine is warm, starts up then shuts down. I took it back to the dealer the same day I bought it, they took out the manifold and gave it a real clean. Never had a problem after that.

Nissan will have an afm but it wont be cheap. You only need the sensor not the tube it sits in. You can try from the US once you have the p/n, it will be half the price.

The intake or more specifically the throttle can cause the car to stall if its too dirty but if you unplug the AFM and it runs then theres a good chance it isn't the throttle.

cleaning it will do nothing, ive tried this several times.

just buy a new one from nissan.......

its 5 mins to install, so please DONT pay a mechanic to install it

the good thing is you can still drive the car without the AFM connected

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
