Problems Idling and when in gear!

I NEED HELP!!!

I have a 1996 maxima with 197k on the clock. I checked compression, coils, injectors and have had no luck. I have NO check engine light but the car will not idle or if it is in gear it will lunge and sputer until your give it gas. The car runs great if you are not at idle.

Here is a video.

I'm on dialup right now so I can't check the video, but check the ground to your MAF. I had an idle in gear issue, regrounded the MAF, and she runs like a dream now.

When you say reground the maf.. do you mean splicing a wire to the maf harness?

Or does the harness have a seperate ground wire coming off of the maf?
