PLEASE READ.

i dont have enough posts evidentally to start a new thread so, here goes.

i sort of have the same problem as the OP.

i have a 96 maxima. about a month ago it started hesitating when i would accelerate and kind of choke and go then choke and go all the way through the rpm range.

i changed the fuel filter and the plugs. its not throwing any codes. its still sputtering and seems to be getting worse. at idle, it drops 200 rpms for a split second then jumps right back up and it does this every 3 or 4 seconds.

i thought it may be the tps going, but its not throwing any codes and usually tps sensors will only fk with the idle.

its getting to the point where the car wants to die, i have to blip the throttle sometimes to keep it going at idle.

i really hope its not coil packs because theyre damn expensive.

anyone have any clues? what would the cause be if this problem has been getting progressively worse?

ive also noticed its not as bad within the first couple minutes of being at operating temp.
