1995 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 110K miles

I am the original owner of this vehicle and have taken pretty good care of it. In the last three months, the engine has developed a "habit" of dying when sitting at idle. On average, with regular driving, it will do this about once a week - always when sitting at idle. Once it does this, I can get it restarted after a determined effort. Thoughts?

Have your idle air control valve inspected for faultiness, as this is a common culprit of these symptoms
