Ignition Coils?

I have a 2k max stock, 5spd, and I have a low compression/half-stalling problem for about a week. I've had it before but when i changed the oil(a little late) it went away
But now it's progressively getting worse. It started again but stopped for a day after i changed the oil. I am no mechanic but i learn well and have changed many brakes, starters, installed remote starters for a large chain of consumer elec. stores. I understand that it may be the Ignition coils too? Please Help, i don't want to pay all kinds of cash to have nissan tell me it is the coils prob but i need to know!

By the way, over 2.1k rpm, no probs at all except reduced power

Ignition coils or the MAF. Scan through the 80-100-300+ maybe even more threads here, that reference MAFs and coils.

BTW, when you say "low compression", do you mean you ran a compression test on the engine and a cylinder(s) was/were low?

If so, that's a whole 'nother game entirely

what is btw?

not quite sure what btw means.

But i didn't test compression i guess what I meant was it's severely reduced power and different levels of off balanced "straining" below 2.1k rpm, but over that it's as if i put cheap gas in or something much less severe
