Fukin maximas

Alrighty, I am a bit peeved at my maxima. I have attempted to fix this stalling problem apon start up. I have searched this forum for a solution but yet have to arrive to one. I have done the usual. TB cleaned, new fuel filter. suggestiong i have found were replace sensors, get new ignition coils or change the PVC value....I dunno where the hell that is. but if anyone actually knows how to fix this let me know. I have noticed TONS of people have this problem. I feel like my car is **** because i get embarissed when I have to start my car for 3 mintues before it stops stalling

Ok , I understand your frustration. It could be a number of things. After your car does start does it have ANY problems? Slow to accelerate? Jumping idle? Stalls on take off? The more information you provide people the more they can help.

I was thinking maybe clogged injector. BUT i do not know for sure.

ok, this is one of those problems that can be a lot of things...

It can be loose electrical connections, alternator, coils, a vaccum leak, incorrect idle speed broken vaccuum lines, clogged fuel filter, faulty spark plugs, or not gapped properly...

This is a lot of **** to check, though it's gotta be something... just take it one step at a time, I know how it feels to be frustrated with your car, I've spent over 2 grand on my old car attempting to fix and locate different problems, and haven't done any of that, got frustrated and sold it. Yet now i feel that I could have found the problems. Take it easy

i'm thinking i should take it to the deal. but i hate them because they will ask me to pay 400 to install a spark plug or something. My car runs perfect after it starts...the RPMs go crazy initially, but after I start driving it is fine. ARGH. i feel my only hope is the horrible dealer. AHH!

Go to the dealer for a diagnostic. Let him/her tell you whats wrong and then we will tell you how to fix it..
