If the engine doesn't recover, the timing belt (if applicable) could have let go otherwise it could be a fuel delivery issue (dirty fuel filter, faulty fuel pump) or a restricted exhaust (damaged catalytic converter). If you have a check engine light illuminated, start with checking the codes.

Why does your 1999 pathfinder jerk when you go over 2 RPMs?
2 rpms? Your automobile engine probably runs around 2000 rpms. At 2 rpms the engine would stall and stop. However, many automatic transmissions jerk a little bit as they shift gears. I suspect this is what is happening to your Pathfinder.

What speed do you shift a 9 speed transmission?
Situation dependent. Most schools will teach you to upshift at 1500 RPMs with any transmission. Which is fine and dandy if you're running long distances on flat terrain, and won't be shifting much throughout the day. But if you're going up mountains, or going from traffic light to traffic light, you're going to bog your motor down severely, and reduce component life. In these instances, you want to shift between 1800 - 2000 RPMs. This means you'll also catch your next gear in a higher RPM range than you would if you shifted at 1500 RPMs.
