I just replaced a MAF on a 1995 nissan maxima. It started and ran for about 5 min. Alot of smoke coming out of the exhaust, which I believe was due to the flooding of the old MAF. I backed it up and it died. It will still crank over, however won't start. I unplugged the MAF, but still won't start. I tried the ECU reset procedure of the wait 3 seconds and depress the accelerator 5 times, etc. But couldn't get the CEL to even come on. It also had a blinking O/D light now.)@)%*)%#*

Any ideas?

Do below:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
