Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / April 200501 maxima sputtering on warm starts?
I have an 01 max with about 31k on it. I keep it garaged and I've noticed that starting when it hasn't run during the day is fine, but if I stop home for a little bit, and then go back out when I start the car it will almost sputter into a stall (feels like its about to stall then it catches and it's fine) any ideas what might cause this? I change the oil and filter regularly (every 3000 - 3200 miles) also change my air filter ever 10k or so. could it be plugs at 31,000 miles? the plugs should be good for about 90,000 miles, so that would not be the problem. > I have an 01 max with about 31k on it.

Try changing the air filter, plugs, wires and cleaning out the throttle body. If you're going to keep the car then this is good maintenance anyway. Just remember to buy OEM parts. How does one go about cleaning out the throttle body? What are the symptoms that it needs cleaning? Thanks . . . > Try changing the air filter, plugs, wires and cleaning out the throttle > body.

Just remember to buy OEM parts. to clean the throttle body I just basically open the butterfly valve and use throttle body cleaner and a toothbrush right? (I used to have a 93 saturn sl2, and they were natorious for haivng LOADS of carbon in there and it would actually make the gas pedal stick. should plugs really die at 31,000 miles though? it's an 01' max and it's 05, would they die in 4 years of not being used? > Try changing the air filter, plugs, wires and cleaning out the throttle > body.
