So I have been having trouble with my 98 maxima. it starts to stutter when I'm drive and hit the gas then when I come to a stop sign it will turn off sometimes. I replaced the battery alternator and starter and fuel filter but still have the same problem.

 

MAF sensor I'm thinking

Check engine light on with any codes to report?

 

Yea there is but for air flow sensor only

 

MAF is the air flow sensor, replace it.

 

So instead of using the check engine light to your advantage, your throw money at the problem just guessing (battery, alternator, starter, fuel filter)

I don't think you realize that after you start the car, the starter no longer has a function; so I'm really confused on why you'd even replace it.

When you replace the MAF, be sure to go OEM. You're better off with a good used OEM MAF than a brand new aftermarket MAF.

 

there's your answer right there, don't doubt your vehicles ability to diagnose its own problems
