Hey everyone I'm new to the G20 world and to these boards but I've browsed quiet a bit and searched for information. (Im not a new guy in car forums, very active on others so I know how annoying questions can be if a search easily answers them
). The cars a 2000 G20 Touring, 5sp. Completely stock.
So Im looking for some advise. My car was throwing Cat Flow Fault code before (but ran great), and then last week through MAF sensor code and wouldnt rev past 2100 rpm. The MAF was replaced but it wasnt an OEM part, it was a Standard Motorsports Part - still not a cheap $80 piece (was like $250 but that was before I read up on here about OEM MAF being 'required') but not OEM. My wires, plugs, cap and rotor just arrived today and I will install them tonight. But I've read the non-OEM MAF seem to not agree with these computers so I got a price from Travis for an OEM part.
Anyways my question is, if the car is hesitating at various RPM, stalls at idle occasionally (mainly when its cold and hasnt warmed up yet) does this sound like a faulty MAF / MAF not agreeing with the computer issue? It runs like a POS but run, and throws no codes. I will put on the new cap/rotor/wires/plugs tonight and if that doesnt work I'll reset the ecu. But after that Im leaning towards buying an OEM MAF because Im thinking it may be the issue.
PS. Does this part number sound right for the OEM MAF.. 226802Y001 or 22680AD201. The Infiniti dealer in Toronto quoted me $633 for this part just want to confirm he looked up the right part.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
