Maxima Running Rough

Try replacing the Idle Air control valve! I am having the same problem, and cannot find anyone who knows where it's located so I can take it off.

UPDATE: The Idle Air Control valve is located underneath the throttle body. Remove the throttle body, turn it over, and voila! There she is.

The maxima is a 3.0L while the altima is only a 2.4L. While the maxima only has 5-10 more horsepower, its extra cubic inches goes more twords torque. I would say maxima hands down. I personally have a 92 maxima, and it is not at all slow.
