Hey all,

Now before everyone jumps down my throat, I have looked at the forums but thought I would put it out to everyone just in case I missed something.

The GU is doing what most have at some point or another. It is loosing power when I accelerate. It only started to do it yesterday on our return from wedge island.

I went down to Nissan today (after loosing power most of the way) and brought a brand new MAF for $250. Fitted it in the car park and drove it home with no problems at all (about 15kms) and actually found that it really did run better.

The wife took the car out tonight and said that it drove fine on her way out but when she went to come home (about 6hrs Later) it was back to square one.

I have had another look under the bonnet and found one of the clips for the air filter was off. Reconnected it with high hopes but just took it for another drive and what do ya know. Same thing is happening.

I have also given the accelerator solenoid a little tap and sprayed the contacters but no change noted. There seems to be lots of stuff about over boost and alike but I just don't seem to find things that match my problem as most of these seem to be talking about highway driving and not from take-off and the lower gears.

The only other thing that I thought I might mention is that Natrad serviced the radiator the other day, not that it probably has anything to do with the problem but thought it would be worth adding.

Helpful comments would be appreciated, sorry for the big spill.
