Nissan NV High Fuel Consumption and Stalling

I'm having a headache with my 2016 Nissan NV with a gasoline engine. It's got about 156k km on it. Lately, my fuel consumption has gone through the roof! Plus, the engine keeps stalling at idle, which is super annoying at stoplights. The check engine light is also on, just to add to the fun. Oh, and it's puffing out smoke when I accelerate, like a wannabe race car. I'm pretty sure it's the mass air flow meter. Anyone else had a similar experience? Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Nissan NV with high fuel consumption and engine stalling issues was experiencing a check engine light and smoke during acceleration. The problem was suspected to be related to the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. After confirming the issue with a diagnostic code, the MAF sensor was replaced, resolving the problem.

Whoa, that sounds rough! I had something similar happen with my NV. High fuel consumption and engine stalling... sounds familiar. Was it throwing any codes related to the air intake?

Codes? You mean like error codes from a scanner? Yeah, I got a code pointing to the mass air flow sensor being defective. Is that what you're thinking too?

Yep, that's exactly what happened to me. If the scanner says it's the MAF, it probably is. I tried cleaning mine but it didn't help. Honestly, save yourself the trouble and just take it to a workshop. They'll replace it and you'll be back on the road in no time.

Thanks a bunch! So, I took your advice and went to the shop. Turns out the mass air flow sensor was indeed the culprit, just like we thought. Got it replaced for 365€. Appreciate the help!
