Sensors

99 maxima 200+ mileage. Engine light came on ran diagnostics, knock sensor & camshaft sensor bad. Car would not restart and had to have car towed home. Replaced both sensors car starts but idles poorly and there is a vibration now. Motor sounds good when while in park I push accelerator to 4000 rpm and vibration smooths out or just don't feel it. Then put car in drive and car sometimes just cuts off. If I can keep it running when putting it into drive. I drive on road in front of house it will get up to speed but barley any acceleration and it acts like it doesn't know how to when or how to change gears. When applying brakes to turn around it costs off again. Ideas on which direction to start in?

Id guess the IACV is a good place to start, never hurts to clean anyways.

Before you start messing around with things you didn't have problems with before (like TPS), where did you get the cam sensor from? New Oem? Used OEM? From an aftermarket autoparts supplier?
