Ouch!!!

Dude, if you have air filters on the car all you should have to do is remove the plastic bag and you should be fine...

Yeah, it should be as simple as opening the filter box, removing the obstruction, and then possibly unplugging the battery for a little bit to reset the ECU.

Unless you don't have any air filters in the car and/or the bag somehow melted, you shouldn't have to change any part!

anyways, thank you everyone for your concern, i made it back safely to virginia in a Cube

... i still don't know what the problem is, but i will keep you guys updated...

what started the problem is, i was going up a ramp revving hard from second to third, and before i hit red line it got cut off, and i couldn't speed up, but the RPM held up. thought it might be fuel starvation, so i turned the car off after i managed to reach home (5 min away)... and i let it sit for 2 hours, when i left home, it seemed fine, but then on the highway it started again and the gas kept cutting off... anyways i should get a call tomorrow and let everyone know..

take care everyone, i got a gtr waiting for me out side

i am not a big fan of mechanics.
they try to rip you off.

if you find one that is honest,
stick to that one until the perception changes.

I didn't do anything to her. Don't know where she disappeared to. I've felt safer lately because of that, but I miss her too.

It's possible. I mean, I may have worn a short sleeve shirt and flexed the guns accidentally. Sometimes I don't know my own power.

So Nissan took the plastic bag out of the filter box and is trying to tell you the car needs to have the intakes and possibly the mass air flow sensor replaced?

If the bag was blocking air flow, removing the bag should solve the problem. I don't understand why they say it needs new parts. As long as the bag is out of the way the car should run just fine?
