Car starts up, then RPM's jump up/down finally dies
 

I am having this minor problem, whenever I turn my car on, usualy the first time any day, it turns on rpms go up then jump for a sec or two then the car turns off. The only way to avoid this is to hit the gas right after I turn the car so the rpms go way up but wont jump and the car wont turn off. What could this be related to? Thanks

This is related to the thread directly above this one

I mean Below this one now lol.

try cleaning your intake manifold

This seems to be a common problem in the fourth generation Maximas. I have heard many suggestions for a fix, and I have tried them all. Nothing has worked so far. Sorry that this is not the answer you were looking for, but unless anyone else comes forward, I think that's all you'll find.

geeze everyone has been having this problem it seems like.... the past few days in particular

anyway, try cleaning the throttle body
