* Model Variations: Nissan had several different pickup models in 1996, and the AFM placement can vary even between similar models.
* Engine Variations: Even within the same model year and pickup type, the 2.4L engine could have different configurations, affecting the AFM location.
How to Find Your Air Flow Meter:
1. Consult your owner's manual: The most accurate way to find the AFM is by referring to your specific owner's manual. It will have diagrams and descriptions of the engine components.
2. Look for the air intake: The AFM is usually located within the air intake system. Start by finding the air filter box. The AFM is often directly connected to the air filter housing or the duct leading from it.
3. Visual identification: The AFM is a cylindrical or rectangular sensor with a wire harness connected to it. It will likely have a hot wire inside that measures the amount of air flowing into the engine.
Important Note: If you're not comfortable working on your vehicle's engine, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic for assistance.
