Try cleaning the MAF with MAF electric cleaner.

RUNS ROUGH AT MID RPM

Need to be more specific here. Runs rough...like misfiring? or vibrating excessively at about 1500, and again about 3000 rpm? If it's the latter, chances are your engine's balance shaft is not timed correctly. This causes a heavy high-frequency vibration/buzz throughout the car, at the aforementioned rpm ranges. If it's more like a misfire/stumble, look into your ignition system, or possibly a sticking EGR valve. (This will cause a mild surge/bucking under light accel, peaking between 45-50mph. Good luck!

Bad spark plugs symptoms

An ignition misfire feels like the car is stumbling. Get it up to about 55mph and ease into acceleration, if it stumbles you might want to get a tune-up. If it stumbles at idle and gets better with acceleration, you might be dealing with a fuel delivery misfire(clogged fuel injector or fuel filter)

1994 nisan maxima misfires and runs rough

Based on what you described, I would say something is blocking oil from reaching the camshafts when the issue happens.
If the lifters run dry the valves won't open.

97 k2500 350 bucks and runs rough at 2000-2500 rpms runs smooth accelerating

There are a few conditions that will not set a code. For example, stumbles are often caused by ignition coil problems. If the problem persists at a certain RPM, could be an O2 sensor problem in closed loop operation not lasting long enough to set a code, or a fuel regulator or injector problem. I would get a good code reader and check readings from all sensors in the circuit (including misfires) to see if you can pin down the problem.

New battery, completely drains while car not used for a day. Initial problem car lost power while driving, rpm went up when accelerating but power didn't eventually stalled. Started again, ran real rough,...

The charging system is doing its job It seems to have an electrical short which is draining the batt. If u have the know how to ck & repair electrical shorts then go after it, if not, take it in.
