Answer
Koma,

Could be the coils.  I personally have a 2000 Maxima and the coils were the problem.  If yours is an early 2001 you will have that problem too...  The throttle position sensor needs to be checked with a volt/ohm meter to make sure it is set correctly.  But, if you put it back where the original one was oriented (clocked) then it is probably fine.  The other thing here is you have replaced the plugs.  The book says something like 80 K miles but I replaced mine at 60 K and they really needed to be changed.  So, if the plugs have not been changed do so.  Email me back if you need more.
