Any car from the 1990s is really old and outdated, on safety, equipment and the risk of a mechanical failure. You would be far better served by coming as far as you can afford into the 2000s.
It seems to be temperature related, and sounds like an engine sensor is playing up, it could be a connection that's faulty. Have a mechanic, preferably a Nissan specialist check the sensors and their connections.
The most likely culprit is the idle speed motor. Nissan service specialist Jerry Newman says he’s had to replace a number of them on customers’ cars he looks after.
NISSAN specialist Jerry Newman says that, though Nissan doesn't include a transmission service in its service schedule, he would recommend having it done at about the mileage of your cars. The Maxima doesn't use synthetic transmission oil, so it's not a long-life oil, and oils do become contaminated with use over time.
THE A33 Maxima is one of the best-performing used cars there is. It has a good record for reliability. With only 60,000km, the car you're considering also has low mileage.
THE Maxima is a very reliable car. Very little goes wrong with them if you maintain them well, as the car you are considering seems to have been. I wouldn't have a problem recommending the Maxima.
