I have a 2001 Nissan Maxima when cold it turns over then starts for a second then dies if I hit the gas it will stay running after about 20 seconds of my foot on the gas I can take it off and it will idle and run perfect. After a drive I can turn it off and on with no problems but if it sets for several hours or overnight it dies when I start it. If I let it set for a few days it takes longer to start.
Do you
have the same problem?
Yes
No

Start by checking the coolant temperature sensor and cleaning out the idle air control valve air regulator and checking the FICD-fast idle control device.
