My wife has a 2003 G35. It started running rough and engine light came on. I had it read at Autozone and code was that the MAF Sensor is bad. Those things are $400+ so I pulled and cleaned it and replaced the air filter. Unhooked battery for a while then put it all back together and it runs the same.
It starts and idles but when you mash the accelerator it coughs and sputters. It only goes up in rpms in idle. There is a lot of exhaust smell and it's pretty hot right at the tailpipe. I'm wondering if the cat could be clogged?
I hate to buy a $400 sensor and that not be it. I've looked at the Upullit yards and they don't have it. Any input?
Thanks,
RQ
