the KN filter, did you put oil on it? If so, you may have put too much oil to foul the MAF.

Someone who decelerates from 60 with the car out of gear obviously doesn't understand how to drive a manual car. No wonder the car gets confused....

Even out of the box they can have too much oil and foul the MAF. You may want to clean it.

+1

Also if there are any "gaps" or anywhere air can get in behind the MAF it will kill the car(loose clamp or hose not fitted correctly)

It has happened with my intake, which is why it's going in the trash.

Problems may cause Engine Management to go into a safe mode. And that mode is similiar to turning off the key: very frightening.

My car went into limp mode just now. I was cruising around for about an hour and got hungry. 30 mins later after grabbing a bite my car said service engine soon immediately after turning it on. Limped it home about a mile away. Courtesy Nissan is sending a truck to pick it up. This suxxxx.

The Service guy said it happens sometimes. It's basically the drive by wire throttle body getting confused and going into "safe mode." How did this happened in the first place?

Any thing to do with the CAI,you think?Because i have a 04 touring 5A,it happen to me like twice already,and both times were in a very hot day with A/C full blast. And after i restart the engine,it works fine again but with the SES light on.

Hmmm yup same scenario here today. It was like 100 degrees when it happened. I am not going to be a happy camper if this anomaly returns. I hope the pop charger has anything to do with it.

Yep, me too. I was getting on it and it was about 95 degrees. The car went into limp mode and I thought I was going to go through the front window.

Did any of you guys get it check out by NISSAN?If so,what did they say about it?I myself did go to the F**KING dealer and have them check it for me,all they said was "We don't know what the problem is,but we'll keep that in record.Just come back when that happen again!.have a nice day" Don't know what to do now Just hope it won't happen again,i guess!!??
