Usually a code would pop up for a misfire.

Well first of all get a Haynes Manuel for you maxima, they tell you all sorts of good stuff (like how to test a coil pack)

could be allot of things, I would start by checking spark plugs, then coil packs

if you’re knock sensor is dead you need to be using high grade gas, this could cause issues also

I had similar issue twice, it was a my sparkplug and then my UDP flew off


and a code never poped up
