Well here is the deal my car has been sitting for almost a year and i think the AFM got messed up I think,because at idle the engine sounds fine but once i start driving i cant seem to go past 3k and it feels just like fuel cut it kind of sputters and hesitates.
my egr its not installed i tapped the hole on the intake manifold
last time i saw black carbon coming out of the exaust
So i was wondering if i could just use a Q45 Afm. I have no fuel mods yet
:1zhelp:
thank you in advance

It sounds like you're in limp mode. If the ECU senses a problem with the AFM, it goes into limp mode so you can drive it safely home, or wherever you're taking it. It may just be the plug loosing contact. These cars are notorious for doing that. Take the plug off, clean the contacts, and re-attach. Make sure the plug is fully inserted, and try driving it again. Don't right off the AFM yet. IDK about the Q45 unit.

Not without some sort of MAFT translator...the 7M is a Karmen Vortex AFM, Nissan uses a MAF. The signals are not compatible.
