Hi

I'm brand new to this forum but noticed your problem Steve whilst reading some of the posts. I had same issue with my 2004 3litre turbo diesel - the problem was the MAF sensor as noted further down by someone else. Basically it was serviced and a month or so later no power. Took it back in and Nissan charged several hundred to change the MAF (master air flow sensor - i think) and all good again. The recycle air (some minute oil trace in it) thru the air cleaner and back over the sensor is possible cause. If MAF dont read correctly (its likely to be a simply pitot tube or thermal mass inferred measurement) then the fuel add and therefore combustion is incorrect affecting power significantly.

MAF is Mass Air Flow sensor so you were close, and you are correct. The MAF sensor can be contaminated with oil mist from the crank case ventilation system that flows back up the inlet duct after the engine is shut down. This can sometimes be fixed by removing and cleaning the sensor, in some cases the sensor may be faulty and need to be replaced. Check this thread for more info; http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...cking+cleaning

Long term it's worth considering fitting a PCV (positive crank case ventilation) filter to capture the oil mist and stop the problem from reoccuring.
