Thank you so much for this video, you just saved me a lot of money! My 2017 Sentra SV had slipping gear issues (no check engine light though) around 100 kmh/65mph when under load and this seems to have fixed it completely. The engine runs remarkebly smoother and the gas mileage improved too. Will report back in some weeks when the next cold snap hits here in West Canada!

I checked everything, installed new MAF sensor, new air filter, air snorkel is tight and secure, harness connector seems ok, removed the negative lead cable from the battery for about 20 minutes, but the P0101 error code is still showing up on the scanner even after driving around town. Maybe I need to add die electric grease on the connector.. 🤔 There is NO check engine light on the dashboard which seems to be a band aid fix. One thing I noticed is there is this hose next to the air box, it sits out in the open. I checked where to connect it to. Seems like just a vent hose for something but not really sure. Any idea what that hose is?

I cleaned the maf the car performed better weeks later it started idling and when I come to a stop it would tremble a little would you recommend replacing the maf if I feel the car idling every time I drive or would it be the rotors that are doing the shaking

@RBTheMechanic 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry I didn’t understand you mixed up idle issue with brakes rotors would make the car shake/vibrate when braking at like 40mpj or above unless rotors are really bad then u would fee pulsation in brake peddle also ... if you didn’t get the p0101 code I wouldn’t touch the MAF sensor

@erikavila1726 3 жыл бұрын

@@RBTheMechanic problem was i took it to the dealership and it had no check engine light but they told me they scanned it and p0101 came up and all they did was clean the throttle body and charged me 300$ weeks later I saw you're video and I cleaned the maf because a different mechanic not from the dealership pointed at the sensor so I cleaned it but I still feel the shaking only when I come to a stop at a red light and that's why I'm asking if it's better to just replace the maf and put a new one. Sorry for the confusion I'm just trying to figure out the issue myself it seems like the dealership just wants my money because all they tell me is other stuff like my rotors were bad and at 55 mph they make the shaky noise

@@erikavila1726 you can replace it the part is like $80 don’t buy the cheaper one also before replacing it next time it shakes take a look at the RPM needle notice how much rpm it is and see if needle is bouncing up and down if it is then slightly presse the gas peddle tiny bit see if u can stabilize the RPM and it should be smooth... from what I understand it might be throttle body issue might need more of cleaning

That’s what the dealer told me today but you also need to change or make sure PCV valve is working properly, which in my case it wasn’t, so I changed it. Also, you need to clean the throttle body make sure the flaps don’t get stuck. And sure, it may need ecm reprogrammed but it is way too expensive. Maybe the engine can learn on its own after a while?
