Hello. My car is a 1996 Maxima SE. Lately it has started to stall. When I am starting from a stop sign and I let the clutch out the car has no power and almost dies, then it gets power. Also, when I crank it up, the engine turns over then dies; to fix that I have to give it gas so it doesn't die. I was thinking it could be the mass air flow sensor but am not entirely sure. I need to get it fixed since the car is my daily driver.

Previous Maintenance:Changed oil <500 miles ago; fuel injector clean last Sunday; fuel filter in March; spark plugs a year, <15,000 miles, ago.

Any opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
