If it is starting then shutting down, it could be a fuel pump.. but is going to next to impossible to diagnose over the internet with a basic description.

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

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

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

[zei20l]

its the AFM!

mine has died a few times, so have other peoples that i know. its around $220-320 depending if you get it trade or retail.

sorry i dont have the part number, i dont think mines the same as the other VQ engines

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.

Is their a place to buy one in Sydney

AFM

[wizlb]

Are you saying Air Flow Meter

Or the Intake system

[scotty nm35]

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.

I like thank you guys....I spoke to a Mechanic yesterday and he thinks it the AFM sensor that may need replacing or complete cleaned out.

[zei20l]

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

This is a bit cheaper, if you are concerned about price.

2nd one is all you need. as mentioned, you dont need the entire tube, just the sensor
