Jason, SES light was ON (P0138) Oxygen Sensor 2 bank 1.... I replaced that sensor and the SES light went OFF but the stalling issue still exists.
The problem: Car starts fine ONLY when the engine is cold. Once warmed up and I turn the car off, When I turn the key to start it again--- car starts fine then it stalls right away UNLESS you immediately hit the gas gently. Someone suggests it MAY be a bad coolant temperature sensor.

The maf deals more with air volume, not so much air temp. I'm hoping its not the MAF because that thing is expensive.
Daredog, how much did you spend at the dealership? What were some of the problems you were having with your car?
Thanks,
Jimmy

I always start trying things that won't cost any money

I believe the MAF and the throttle body should be cleaned. Maximas get a build up of black gunk i the body and it prevents the air from flowing smoothly thus causing the car to stall...A local mechanic should be able to fix this & not the dealership.
Thank you for being helpful.
