Check Fuel pump/ fuel filter/ injectors could be dirty too check that as well! and last resort do a compression tests! If compression is low and adding oil to ur spark plug holes raises the compression ur piston rings are warn and arent sealing right making the engine bog out when u rev it up! This just happened to my KA so i have to do the same. Hope this helps! AND STOP SCREAMIN!

Dude it's your MAF. Mass Air Flow sensor. Check that first. Oh an when you do a compression test, make sure that compression is above 150 and not more than 5 psi difference on each and every cylinder. So if number 1 is at 176psi and the rest of the cylinders are 178, 180, 175 then your good, but if the other cylinders were 182, 180, 183 then you will have bad compression balance between the cylinders. But I know it's your MAF sensor.

I had this problem when i first got the car.. Your engine is dirty as f*** thats all it is lolz. Get some gumout from autozone that will help ALOT. You definitely need new spark plugs. I recomend NGK platinums. If you haven't changed the oil you should do that to. And that fuel injector could be busted.. If your local junkyard has one of the 90's altimas or an infinity G20 then just pull an injector from there.
