Auto Maxima 5.5 Gen - 2nd Gear Power Loss
Past 2 days I get this problem with my car, when it shift on 2nd gear it feels like it doesn't have that much power and it gets higher rpms.

hey man i got an 00se auto and i had the same exact problem it turned out to be that my 2nd gear band was shot in the tranny. i really hope this isnt your case but thats what my car was doing. good luck bro
(It's hard to explain).
I'll second the bad coils or MAF...
In order to help use diagnose your problem, let's try this: Does the car pull hard up to a certain RPM (regardless of gear), then the pull drops off at and past this RPM? For instance, my MAF died after I disconnected the negative terminal of the battery. I noticed it when my car would pull hard to about 3.5K RPMs, then the pull would drop off, but the RPMs would continue to climb.

Does the slippage go away once the car is fully warmed up? If so, that seems to be a problem with 5.5 gens. Something in the valve body hangs up when the transmission is cold and causes soft or slipping 2-3 upshifts. A couple people have installed the Trango Shift Kit and solved the problem, others have had the valve body replaced under warranty.
