If it isn't one thing...
..it's another. Okay I know this isn't a troubleshooting forum, but you guys seem to know your fair share...when my car comes to a complete stop, after it has been idling for anywhere between 15 and 30 seconds, it just stalls and shuts off...when I try to start it back up, it is VERY DIFFICULT to keep it from stalling again, it's getting to the point where I have to put it in neutral and tap on the gas a little bit to keep the revs up to keep my car from dying again...could this be a bad MAFS that maximas are known for, or is it an easy fix like dirty fuel injectors/filter? I know there are 18 quadrillion things that could be causing this, but I would still appreciate your input. Thanks.

Re: If it isn't one thing...
Sounds like the IAC (idle air controller) same thing happend with my car, i cleaned all the carbon off it and it worked fine again. I would see if someone knows where it is on your car, its usualy attached to the TB.
good luck

Re: If it isn't one thing...
It sounds more like a Mass Air Flow sensor problem to me. But who knows, it could be a number of things, that's what scan tools and diagnostic charts are for.

Re: If it isn't one thing...
Update: I just realized something else that might help out in diagnosing the problem...right before my engine dies, the inside REEKS of exhaust fumes...does that help any?
