Unless it is a really old Maxima, your Max doesn't have a carbuerator but rather fuel injection. IF you used true "Carb cleaner" on the throttle body of an injected car, that could be a problem. The mass-air-flow meter is pretty delicate. You can get a "throttle body cleaner" anywhere, I like Valvoline synpower myself. They really don't need cleaned that often, maybe annually.
