Nissan Maxima 1994

My 1994 Maxima will not accelerate and sometimes will backfire and kill the engine. It starts just fine everyday and will operate OK for a short time then the sluggish- ness starts.
A diagnostic test concluded that the ignition coils were arcing and one needed to be replaced and the air flow meter was defective. I changed one of the 3 sets of ignition coils and the air flow meter. After that, the car operated OK for a few weeks, but the problem has re-appeared.
What do you think the problem can be?

One of the coils and the air speed sensor solved it for a while which leads me to believe that another coil is arcing even if unseen. Mist them one at a time (cooler engine) with tap water or window cleaner, one at a time and the weak one(s) will frequently react. Good secondary items shouldn't react to that test. It's inconclusive without a reaction,
