Check this also for MAF cleanup. There are lots other stories to be found, this one has similar resistor elements as maxima: Cleaning the Mass AirFlow Sensor (MAF) http://www.fordscorpio.info/cleanmaf.htm
Why? Cheap, easy DIY, wont hurt when carefully done...

Hi

Today I have Nissan Dealership diagnose my problem.
Dignosis is Ground between Engine Block & Trasmission is corroded or oxidised which causing erratic signals. Need to remove trasmission, clean corrosion to start . The ECS has old codes stored & they are not relevent. ( MAF & O2 Sensor codes for Check engine light) After cleaning this corrosion they will need futher investigate fr any issues.
Labor cost appx 700$

Dont know what to do, i am thinking of going back to mechanic who installed used engine for me. I know for sure he wont fix it for me easily.

Tell me what i should do .

The remarks about Ground in this forum by someone is finally worthwhile.

Do u see any easy solution apart from cleaning the coroded ground which require to open transmission.?

Thanks

SP
