Ok, so this might be the problem.. input please

My car has been stutrering a lot lately, meaning while at stop lights and decelerating, my car stutters almost as if it is going to stall. So far, i have cleaned the throttle body and got my injectors cleaned. I got so annoyed by it that i took out the spark plugs to see what condition they are in and i found out they are Autolite plugs. I have NGK sittin in my room, but could the Autolite be the problem with my engine, maybe causing misfires here and there? I am definetly putting in the NGK this weekend, i just want input as to what you think it might be.

Damn owner before me put these in by the way....

Could be the plugs. Maybe a full tune-up with spark plugs and wires, cap/rotor could do it too, check your coil. Possibly the ignition.

Whoops, my bad, those years don't have wires and a single coil, etc, so yeah, check the coil packs.

The 4th gen maxima has no wires or cap/rotor. They use coilpacks instead. Do the plugs first since that's easy and cheap, then look into the coils if that doesn't work.
