Sounds like a coil pack. Take it to the dealer... if you don't already have a check engine light on, if the light does come on, you can have the code read.

If you aren't under warranty, a coil pack will cost you $200 to $300.

You need new coils and/or plugs. My 2k Maxima with 70k used to do that till I got a new set of coils and plugs, although it probably only needed plugs, the dealer threw in 6 coils for free.

could also be the throttle body, might have to have it cleaned out

That's what it more looks like to me.. You should try cleaning your TB and changing the air filter..
