seems at least 80% of us have this bog, hesitation problem
the mystery bog, hesitation stuttering problem is driving me insane, i've tested and pulled on and wiggled wires and replaced parts and thought and read and on and on for two friggin months now.
last night i spent an another hour wasting my time and the damn car kept on stalling. at least 17 times, sometimes every min., sometimes after 5 min. sometimes it would start right back up like nothing happened, other times it was laoded up and ran like ****. sounded like a boat !!!
i know alot of you have heard this from me before and i appreciate all the help and response, but somebodys got to figure this out !!!
i know there are alot of people with the same symptoms, but what about the stalling? seems electrical or sensor related but everthing seems to check out, still no codes. it just shuts down!!! has anybody tried a new or reprogramed pcm and had any luck???

Better to spend money for it to be diagnosed than waste you time when you might be looking in the wrong areas.

Never ... 
I don't care how long it takes me, I have no faith in mecahnics and their knowledge to Maximas ... If you spent that long and that many times phukking with it ... myabe it was time to walk away and take a break ... A fresh mind is > than a tired/confused/frustated one.
a 1-200$ tantrum ..

what have you checked with the car?
If there is a org member in your area with diagnostic tool of their own, like on a laptop so you can monitor varous signals, this can help.
Have you done a vacuum test?

vac test? besides spraying carb cleaner all around at diff. temps and rpms, i haven't checked yet for internal leaks.

Another alternative is to dish out $75 to have your problem diagnosed by a trustworthy mechanic, then fix it yourself and save a bunch of money. Between paying $75 and then fixing the car, or di<king around with a car trying to figure it out for months on end, I'd pay the money and get the problem solved so I could start enjoying the car again.... Just a thought.

Did you check your grounds? Its easy to clean them off and it cant hurt. When I did my motor swap, I had a bad ground off the main wiring harness and it was for the o2 sensors, cam/crank sensors and a few other things. The bad ground would cause the car to stall out once it hit operating temp, after running another ground wire, it ran perfect.

The amount of money you would waste on a master/novice mechanic you could buy some serious tools to help you diagnose your problem. Do all the compression, vacuum and fuel pressure tests and then work towards testing the coil packs. Eventually you will find it if it isn't intake or sensor related you will eventually figure it out.

I say take it to Nissan.
And look in the bay, and see who has a ASE master mechanic certification, and ask for him to do the diagnostic on your car.
It costs $75.00, and if after weeks of troubleshooting nothing has been solved... its definately worth while.

Do you have a "broken" CEL screw? My screw on my 95 was broken. By this I mean when I went to check or reset a CEL the screw would keep turning. I would have to be very careful when resetting a CEL, specifically how many times I turned the screw and the position of the screw when I was done. If I did so incorrectly, the car would stall.

i've never touched the screw, fortunatly i have access to a scanner. but i could check it. i'm thinkin if the screw was " off " it would run bad all the time. last night i tried to get it to act up and it wouln't, in fact it ran perfect. had her goin a buck 20 on the parkway, never missed a beat. this morning, it stalled and sputtered the whole 5 miles to work !!!!!

Did you just decide not to read his post? lol He said sometimes hot, sometimes cold sometimes idling sometimes at 45 mph
