My 95 nissan pathfinder starts ok and idles fine... when the RPMs go up it stalls. It just looses power and shuts off, making it difficult to start shortly after.
I changed:

spark plugs
spark plug wires
distributer cap / rotor
fuel filter
I had the fuel injectors flushed

...and still nothing :(
Any suggestions?

Check for codes in the PCM.

Unplug the mass air flow sensor and see if it changes.

Disconnect throttle position sensor harness connector.
Make sure that resistance between terminals [b] and [c] changes when opening throttle valve manually.
If not, replace throttle position sensor.
