I think I have the same problem, I would start my Maxima and attempt to drive away in a couple of minutes but the engine would bog, the RPMs would drop and would eventually die. It also happens when I try to put it in reverse or drive down the road (when I eventually get it going). I would be coming to a stop and the RPMs would drop until the engine dies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Love the car, never had a problem with it 'til now.

It seems to me like it's your air idle control valve. I've just replaced one.
