FML

first- propped the hood up with a piece of wood while i replaced the props, it fell twice but its light so its okay. one time though my ratchet fell and made a cm long scratch on the side, gonna have to buff out that bish

second- one of the bolts fell into engine oblivion, had to get a new one from the hardware store

third- i never got nosebleeds as a kid but i had one at work the other day, thankfully on my break and just now when i was leaning over the engine bay, out came red river

fourth- i fked up and reinstalled one of my busted props, so i got the other one and installed it, and these ones only hold a bit better than the others. FML

OBX headers INSTALLED after weeks of working on it. Went for broke with the 3.5s on a 3.0 engine. Had to remove EGR. Engine sounds great.
Washed the car too.

Idling/stalling problem

So recently my car has been idling rugh at stop signs or stalling altogether when coming to a complete stop. Base don reading here, decided MAF sensor cleaning was my first place to look

Sunday: Took off Mass Air flow sensor for an inspection, but noticed that the rubber insulator connecting the MAF senso tube was cracked and beyond recognition. Of course no parts stores have such a simple thing.

Monday: Called Nissan, none in-stock and 2-3 days for delivery. Not thanks, Went to a South Philly parts yard (u-pull-it ) and found the gasket in what must be a new entry to the yard, cuz everything was still there. Decided to pull out the MAF and see what they charge me for it in case I ened a new one. $35 and I was on my way.

Tuesday (today): Went to Advance and got some MAF sensor cleaner, I have other cleaners but why not use the one designed for this specifically? Cleaned the MAF sensor, put humpty-dumpty back to gether (with the rubber insulator from the parts yard) and everything seems to be fine, test drove it today at about 40 stop signs, no sign of the issue.

So I have an extra MAF should it fail, and all told this cost about $50 (MAF sensor (now a spare), cleaning spray, public transportation to parts yard). I also put ina new air filter but that's mainly just because I was in there so why not.

Im a few days late with this update but:

Installed new lock on driver's door and trunk. (Some mother effers stole my car and it had a spare key in glove box... didnt get the key back so) Scratched the driver's door while re-installing the handle.

Ripped apart steering column area to get at the ingnition tumbler... turns out we need some shear head screws and a special tool to remove the old screws that are headless.

Also, replaced inside courtesy light bulbs and sidemarker bulbs with some nice white LED's that look WAY better than the old ones. Nice and bright. Now I just need the dome light and map lights, plus red LED's for a complete interior conversion on the window switches shift lights etc.

I cried...lol

After cleaning the MAF sensor and replacing the little rubber seal it hooked into, the car has gone 2 days without stalling at a stop sign/light.

However today fort he first time ever the engine cut out while driving at about 25 mph :-(

So I guess I've got some more investigating to do.

Put in new Strongarm hood struts

Managed to make this 20 minutes job into a 1 hour job over 3 days trying to figure out how to get the bolts loose (the hood-mounted bold is a pain to get a good crip on with a wrench).

After figuring out the bolts dont really need to come out I managed to do it in about 5 minutes :-)

Replaced the front exhaust manifold. Sounds a lot quieter now.

EDIT: Almost forgot that I rotated the tires as well
