MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR! Only use 92 or higher octane fuel and add injector cleaner to the fuel tank at least once a month!

If the hesitation is when you accelarate, it could be bad spark plugs and/or wires/distributor cap and rotor.

My 97 did that and it turned out to be bad O2 sensors. If they check out o.k., then it may be the EGR valve.

my 94 maxima did that and the check engine light was on...stalled a lot from that reason, got it checked out and it turned out to be an O2 sensor, when the repair was complete the check engine light went off too.

My '96 Maxima used to hesitate when I was idling, I used carburetor cleaner in the throttle valve (I think that is what it is called), and it is the point after the air in take and after the air filter where it goes into a sliver valve. When spraying it remember to increase acceleration. The car might stall a few times, it says on the back of the cleaner it might stall as well, just start it back up and do again.

On my '92 Maxima, it turned out to be the timing was off.

I have a 99 Maxima (same car) and had this problem. My car stalled and even died on me at stop lights. I replaced the O2 sensor but the car continued to stall. I found out that the factory ignition coils was the problem. I replaced all 6 ignition coils and have not had a problem since.

FYI: If you go to the dealer for 6 ignition coils, they will kill you. it will cost about 800 and more. I had to change one, I got it from www.rockauto.com for 57$ + tx + shipping ended up costing about 80$ and changed it by my self.

What are the possible reasons for a Maxima 2000 'check engine' light coming on?

There are several reasons the Check Engine light comes on. It could be as simple as making sure the gas cap is properly screwed on in which case the light will reset itself soon after. It could be the thermostat issues, MAF sensors, switches etc. If the light stays on permanently, you should take it to a repair shop to get the engine diagnosis done and they will tell you exactly what the problem is.
