Welcome to the forum.
For a second I thought, nissannewby was trapped up there after I read the title.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yes, ours is TB42E so does have it. It runs on gas as well and after searching around a bit I've found that this tends to happen on dual fuels of this model.
We were able to check it by seeing if the car would idle with the sensor unplugged, which it did. Wish it could just run without it though!
I didn't think about facebook, thanks Clunk!

The workshop manual (downloadable from this site) has the procedure for testing the air flow meter but the best way is to find a workshop with a Nissan Consult handset (or cable + software). This will plug in and tell you immediately if there is a problem with the meter and other sensors. I have found the air flow meter to be surprisingly reliable, every time I have suspected a dodgy AFM it turned out to be something different. Maybe check the basics like fuel pump (common failure point) and filter, crank angle sensor, coil, etc.

Dont you check the MAF with a multi meter to see what OHM's it pulls at different revs.
Is it possible to clean your MAF sensor, easy job on the ZD30's

Easy enough to remove, but as JME said, these air flow meters are extremely reliable...... I'm definitely no expert though

G'day Debs,
As MB says, search under MAF sensor.
Then, sorry to look like a complete dope but,,,,you HAVE sprayed the MAF sensor with the appropriate spray, haven't you?
Assume you've been real careful drawing it out of the fixing with no fingers in the wrong places etc. etc..
It is, in my experience, one of those fiddly fittings which never goes wrong or is for no obvious reason totally cactus. Bugga!!
God luck,
Col.
