    Hey thanks for the help but, here is the real solution to my problem:

    The lower bearing on the distributor was coming apart throwing metal everywhere inside the distributor. Looking back at the symptoms a slight lose of power and gas milage along with the ABS light coming and going. replacing the distributor for $500 bucks makes me feel lucky. i also replaced all the belts. now my truck runs like a champ.

Make sure your air filter is clean and get some carb spray or throttle body spray and spray the valves and clean all the gunk off and hope that ur intake passages are not starting to clog up

SOURCE: 2000 Xterra hesitateing, backfireing, not accelerating above 20mi

Airflow sensor very well may cause it , and Throttle position and temperature sensor too.
All of it has to be checked with good scaner , that can monitor values and data from ECM.
You need to find a better shop.

Sounds like you have more power in the upper RPM's. Alot of cars feel the power band with-in 4K-5K RPM.

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem! Try filter first (cheapest), then the pump

Try cleaning your car's intake air filter. If its clean or new. Try to have your cars intake manifold cleaned. If that still doesn't work. Your car's engine probably has compression leaks.
