I'm new to doing my own car fixes (dammit I wish I took mechanics in high school), but I'm trying stuff now.

So far I've switched the fuel pump from my parts car to my driver... took me 4 hours cause dumb ass me didn't figure out till 3 and a half hours in that the full plastic casing came out not just the top half. LOL I'll know for next time.

Yesterday I decided to tackle the stalling prob. So I reground the MAF sensor. Two hours later that was done, completely wrecked the MAF clip on my parts car, before I just did it with my other one. I used 12g stranded wire, asked for 10g but home depot didn't have it. Again it will be much easier if I ever have to redo it.

Well I was at it I decided to switch the AAC valve cause I found it while I was looking for a grouding point for the MAF. Looked easy, two screws. Top screw 2 min max. Bottom screw 2 hours. Next time though 15 min. So as I'm putting two electrical clips back on that I disconected for the job, I find that some how I ended up with 3 loose electrical clips! WTF I was pretty careful not to bang up anything but I guess I wasn't careful enough. I could not see the point where it clipped to so I felt around with my eyes closed till I found it. Turned out that it came from just below the AAC valve. 1 more hour! LOL at myself.

At least you tried. Not bad.Why don't you get a FSM. Can you do my steel braided brakeline install? haha

well the more you do the easyer it gets :D so just keep at it :cool:

Yup on payday I'll be the first in line at the Nissan parts counter ordering up that manual! LOL thanks.

Honestly I think you have a pretty good concept of what your doing. Always remember to be patient. FSM definitely will help and do your homework before you do someting. Search first and then ask as much as you can.

Best of luck on your future endeavor!

Oh yes, FSM is a must. Mine looks like it's been shot from a canon. Soooo much good info.
