My maxima starts fine but stalls after it starts if give gas it will stay running but I have to rev it kinds high to keep it running if I try to take off I have to through it drive and gas it most of the time it sputters when cold unless it over 3000 rpm the problem goes away afer about 15 minutes of driving then it fine all day I have just replaced all of the coils and the MAF sensor new battery I plan on cleaning the throttle body and the idle air controller any other ideas would be greatly appriciated thank you for your time

Check and test the following below:

Oxygen Sensor
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)

Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:

Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires
Coil and Rotor
