98 maxima gle idle probs

See if anyone can help me with this one..bout a month ago had cold start problems..would die out and i'd have to re-start..then went into wild bucking while driving plus wouldn't go over 2500 rms...determined that was due to MAF..replaced it and was ok till yesterday...after the engine got warm..stopped at stop light then went to start off and when I pushed the gas
it was like nothing happened at first..no response..after about 5 seconds of
easing off and on the gas it finally took off...but not having the 2500 rmp's problem again...any ideas?

or could that be because the aftermarket MAF isn't a complete "goner"?

Do you know the manufacturer and brand name of the aftermarket MAF?
