Pop the distributor cap off and look for oil residue inside the distributor. The early Altimas were famous for leaking oil into the distributor and causing symptoms like this. If you do find oil, clean it with some electrical contact cleaner and see what happens.

Yeap, it definitely sounds like a bad distributor.
