Peculiar 2003 Maxima Problem. Help !!
Hi All.
I have a peculiar problem with my 2003 Maxima.
It all started when I replaced the battery.
The post new battery posts were slightly smaller in diameter than the original battery posts.
Because of that the power and negative cables have always been slightly loose.
So. When turning the ignition switch, sometime required playing with the battery cable to tighten them
slightly. After which my Maxima starts right up. No real problems so far.
After nearly two months starting my Maxima because I major production with me having to insert my key in the
ignition wiggle ithe key a few times, after which it would start, run perfect.
Here is the tricky part.
I drive to my destination, (Between 6-10mi) do what I have to to, get back in the car, start it, attempt to drive off. It stalls.
restart a second attempt to push the gas pedal. Again, it stalls. Restart...same sequence for three more times.
After which it runs perfect all the way one.
I'm completely stumped.
I replaced the fuel pump (E8335). NO CHANGE.
Where should I go next for things that I should look at and replace.
I'm thinking of replacing the plastic Ignition switch.
HELP !!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I've had my 02 for 10 years and when my car started having stalling issues it ended up being the throttle body wire adapter that came with the 75mm upgrade kit I got from eBay.
is it having a stalling issue or engine not reacting to the gas pedal issue?
