When the car is cold and I start it up it comes on but shuts right off after it starts. Then if I start it up again and press the gas immediately after I start it the rpm goes up and it then stays on and does not shut off again and it starts up and drives normal from that point until the engine cools down again. Then I have to start it again and press the gas to keep it on after. What is going on with it why is it doing this? No check engine light on. I’m confused.

This could be a problem with your vehicle's Idle Air Learning being out of specs. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for relearning your vehicle's Idle Air Learning with the use of Nissan's code reader which is called the Consult 2. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
