Took to Dealership - Royal Purple

normal · 03-03-2010, 11:20 AM

I have had the SES light come on four times since i got the car in Nov. The first was at 80 miles on the odometer, random misfire (P0300), and i just had it cleared thinking it was a fluke. The second time (80 miles later) took it into the dealer, they dismissed it saying it was working the "kinks" out of the system or something. Didnt really believe it, but thought maybe some fresh gas (the tank was full when i test drove it) would help. It was about 1500 miles later and came on again, the dealer did an idle air relearn procedure. Then about 400 miles later it came back on. This time they kept it for two days, and working with Nissan Tech support they replaced both MAF sensors. They had noted that it had been running rich, and this had taken care of that, and I believe that will actually solve the issue.

Everytime the light came on as a random misfire (P0300) and it was after the car had sat overnight or all day will I was at work (8+ hours) and came on during the initial startup. Only time will tell if this really takes care of it, I have about 400 miles on the car since the MAF sensors were replaced, but I feel more confident since they actually replaced something rather than just resetting the ECU, and that it took care of the running rich condition as well.

I dont know if something like that could trigger a specific cylinder misfire, although if it is related to the MAF sensors, they intakes would be a very easy scapegoat.
