Answer
Frankie1,

I would make sure the coils were replaced if they have not been.  I ahve a 2000 Maxima SE and the coils on this engine were in a technical service bulletin.  That is, they need to be replaced.  While you are at it replace the plugs.  If the problem continues you need to have the mass airflow sensor diagnosed.  It will cause the car to die and not throw a code.  Get a Haynes Manual if you would like to diagnose it yourself.  You will also need a digital volt ohm meter to probe the connection.  Email me back if you need more.
