noooooobie pathy owner!

hi all fellow scratch your head and kick the nearest thing pathfinder owners.

Recently moved to canada and as i live in the sticks thought i,d need a 4 x 4, got one for a steal with few issues untill today........ The imfamous MAF!

Had the problem of no power then suddenly it kicks in, reverse, ha, i could stumble quicker.

So after reading npora i cleaned the maf, still the same issue, unravelled the lecky tape to find whats in the photos. If i pull out the maf connector the engine stops so i assume the maf itself is doing its job so wiring problem andnagain looks like ground.

So where does this bare wire afix to and can i just splice a ground onto the 3rd and ground it to the body.

Btw, when i fixed the bare wire to what again i assume is the ground it heats up and smokes! What am i doing wrong?

 

Ah, i cant seems to attach photos, help again!

Need to fix this quick as like i said i live out in the sticks!

This should probably interest you... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/36667-bad-maf-harness-ground-nissan-official-fix/

 

If it heats up and smokes when it is grounded, it is a hot wire. Don't do that...

 

Oh, welcome to NPORA!
