Car shuts off if I don't give gas

[RoyXLR8]

I've been going thru so much with this car.
So now I have this problem.
After a few mins of driving, my car will think it's cool try to shut off on me if I don't keep my foot on the gas.
I have a 2000 maxima, manual.
So I just stay in gear, until about to stop, pull handbrake a and keep the car reving.
If I put the car in neutral while driving, it'll shut off.

If and when it does cut off, it struggles to start.
Only think I can do is cut her off and let the motor cool down.


Someone please help me :/
I'd appreciate it

I'm no expert, but based on the helpful advice of people on this forum, I tracked down a similar issue with my M30 that was caused by the MAF, which is a bane to many a Nissan.

One way to check (Note: only if you have your own/access to an OBDII reader and know how to reset a "check engine light") is to unplug the MAF and see if the car starts and runs better. My MAF issues never triggered a CEL, or any codes for that matter, but disconnecting the MAF will certainly throw a code.
