The Sentra is known to blow mass airflow sensors. If you bought an
aftermarket sensor and it says to reprogram the computer you are pretty
much out of luck. If it were me I would read the instructions again as
it probably means that you have to disconnect the battery for five
minutes and let the computer learn the new mass airflow sensor.
The mass airflow sensor, or MAF sensor, measures the
amount of air flowing into the engine through the air intake. The sensor
on your Nissan Sentra is located in the air intake tubing that runs
from the filter to the fuel injection system. If your Sentra is idling
rough, has problems starting and frequently stalls during normal
driving, it is likely that the MAF sensor is failing and needs to be
replaced.
jQuery('.intro .thumbnail').each(function(i,e){
jQuery(e).find('img').one('error',function(){ jQuery(e).remove(); });
});
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You'll Need:
-
Socket wrench and socket set
Screwdrivers (Philips and slotted)
New MAF sensor
Instructions
-
Open the hood and locate the air box. It should be on the
passenger side of the engine bay near the front of the vehicle. It will
be a plastic, box-shaped object with a large plastic pipe running to the
back of the engine.
-
Examine the new MAF sensor. You'll be looking for this
component in the air box.
-
Remove the air box cover and pull the air filter out.
-
Loosen the band clamps on the intake tubing with a
screwdriver and pull the intake tubing off of the air box.
-
Unplug the electrical connection to the MAF sensor and pull
the MAF sensor out of the air tube assembly.
-
Install the new mass airflow sensor and put the air box
assembly back together. Installation is the reverse of removal.
Hope this help to solve your problem (remember comment and rated this).
