when I had that problem it was a fuel injector going out. it'd idle really bad in D but if I pushed it up to N or put it in P the idle would smooth itself considerably. the #4 injector finally died, replaced it, and that solved it.

don't hold me to that being your problem, I'm just giving you my experience. and this wasn't in my maxima, it was in a 94 sentra. but nonetheless, that was the problem. it could be a number of other things. sounds like you're on the right path with a good tune up. (remember, NGK!!!!) start small, then see where you go from there. if you haven't tuned it up in a while, you may as well do it now, it certainly won't be a waste of money either way.
