Hey Guys,
My 97 max has recently passed 100,000 on the odo. It has been great so far with no problems whatsoever, except for a bad Knock Sensor that was replaced today. One problem that I am having is that the Maxima has a hard time starting in the cold. The starter cranks and the car starts up, but the revs go up to 1500-2000 rpm but fall down very fast and the engine stalls. Up till now, I had to give it a little gas so it does not stall. The Max only does this in the morning, never when its warm out. Anyone seen this before? Have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

i had the same problem too it was hard to start first thing in the morning i checked the coolant temperature sensor it was corroded i cleaned it and put it back and since then no problem the thing is when u try to start the car in the morning the cts sensor gives the wrong signal to the ecu and the ecu sends more gas to try to start the car thats where it dosent start too much fuel try it see it works and keep me posted good luck

Try cleaning your throttle body. That has worked for a lot of us.

I cleaned my tb and my idle went from 800 to 1k. Don't know what happened.
