Hi all,I have a 1999 Maxima that is shaking very bad when I start the car. A year ago I received codes that indicated problems with ignition coils and a knock sensor. The care ran fine 99% of the time with a few issues with the car misfiring and bucking while driving. I eventually replaced all 6 coil packs and the car ran just fine until this week. Throughout this time, the check engine light has been on. I read the codes and cleared it a few times only to have it come up the next morning. Each time, the codes mentioned the knock sensor and the ignition coils(eventhough I replaced them). Now the car feels like it is going to stall. Would the knock sensor cause this problem? I only run 93 octane in it. What else could it be? Does anyone else have similar issues? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.Sean

Try cleaning the Idle Air Control Valve and Throttle Body

replace that ks. also check your plugs to make sure they are firing. replace those if necessary as well. how bad is the "stalling"?
