5th generation “starts then dies”

Hey all, I figured out my start then dies problem on my Maxima! I replaced the MAF, along with that I installed a new battery...I tried connecting a second battery to bring the volts up too 12.9 so I could go through the idle relearn procedure but it was a no go. I’m enjoying an idle of 600-700 constantly in gear and it’s only hitting about 1100-1200 at the initial cold start. Thanks too all on the forum who were willing to toss out suggestions and humor at times, (seriously)

I appreciate your letting me know! Once I got the new battery installed it worked fine, (the ICV relearn.) I gotta say, if I had know how important having a good battery is in the first place maybe I could have avoided some other work, Hahaha! Thank you!
