No throttle at all
A few days ago, my son's max wouldn't start. He isn't mechanically inclined, but spent a lot of time trying to find answers through Google. He was told to clean the maf sensor, so he did. It tried to start, but wouldn't quite catch. He then searched Google some more, and changed a coil pack. Car started right up, but now when he pushes the gas pedal, absolutely nothing happens. It's also idling a bit higher than normal at startup, and then after a minute idles even higher. Please help!
We don't have a code reader at the moment, and can't get one for a while. The cel was already on for some other issues that it had when he got it. I can't remember them at the moment, but I think I posted about it before. If necessary, I can find out what exactly they were.
(p.s.- serious noobies here, so please explain it in "for dummies" style lol)
Thank you guys in advance!

I had the same problem with my 2009 Maxima I had and it was the PCM (power control module). That may be the issue. I got my pcm off eBay for about $100 and had my mechanic put it in an everything worked. It’s like a square looking piece not that big. From dealerships and stuff it’s a rlly expensive piece but if you can find it off eBay or something they work fine too. You should look into that. Also it could be a faulty alternator.

Thanks for the replies! We've been dealing with a tropical storm and aren't able to do anything wirh the car. As soon as we can, I'll try to get the codes.
It's a 2002 with less than 150k. Probably around 125k.
The little bit we have looked up seems to refer us to doing a relearn procedure. Although, it appears that most people struggle with doing this. We may try that once we can get out there again.
Does that sound like something we should do? Any tips on getting it to work? If we can't, is there something we can purchase that will help reprogram or relearn things easily? Since I eventually will get a code reader, I'd like to go ahead and plan to buy whatever other device we may need lol

Crap. I could have sworn I pressed 5th gen. So sorry! Can this be moved, or should I post again in the correct forum?

I will. I'm currently trying to find information about getting whatever I'll need to run diagnostics, and do relearn procedures. I'm currently on the path of Consult ii, and a vag com cable. I just need to know if
1) This is the best course of action for the money spent
2) Will I need anything besides these things and a laptop?
3) Will this help with everything I'll ever need for the max, like troubleshooting, relearn procedures, or key reprogramming in the future if needed?
4) Where to find trusted sites for purchasing, and will it potentially be here within a couple of days lol (Not sure if buying this type of thing from Amazon Prime is recommended 🤷♀️)
