Engine Troubles

I have been having engine troubles lately, and I can not seem to locate a problem.

1. My car will stall, Even when I am justletting it warm up, it will just shut off and then have trouble re starting, I have to give it gas and try to start it and some times it takes numerous atempts. It also tends to stall while I am driving around town.

2. Idle seems to jump around from 1-3000rpms it almost feels as if the engine is about to dye, I have to floor it for it to go and even then it still does not feel right, and is some what violent.

3. Gas mileage seems to be some what low.

I have a 95' Auto SE, 150,000mi with a intake.
I change oil every 3,000 miles,
Recently changed spark plugs, and fuel filter.

Can anyone please help me with possiable problems, and estimates of parts?

Thank,
SpeedCrazie

Are you getting a check engine light at all? How long have you had this problem? It might be your maf sensor.

Ditto.

Sounds like you might have bought a bad spark plug.

if there is no error code (it may not show SES but there may be a code, like the KS), check the spark plugs. There is so much info needed...how often do you change the fluids (oil/tranny)? What kind of gas have you used? Have you tried some injector cleaner?

Thanks Guys,

The problem still occurs, happen to me agian. I didn't mention I had the trans fluid changed a while ago, I change oil and filter every 3k miles. I use chevron gas all the time. and I have used i njecter cleaner a while ago.

I have had this problem for close to 2 months but just recently has the problem seem to worsen. I got my spark plugs from Courtesy Nissan.

Does anyone have the link to check my ecu codes. I really need to solve this problem, its giving me so many headaches, also any one know hoe much I can get a maf sensor for if need be?

Thanks agian.
