My 1998 Nissan Maxima has 95000 miles and a 3.0 liter (6 cylinder) engine. It is manual transmission. After I shift and let go of the clutch and I accelerate, the car hesitates. The air coming out of the exhaust pipe also seems to choke every few seconds and there is also a slight burning smell sometimes. I have replaced the clutch,shocks,and fuel filter. I have also done all the necessary fluid maintainence. The knock sensor has also been replaced. Nobody seems to know what is causing this problem and the car has passed inspection. Any insight would be much appreciated!
