I have a 1997 QX (Maxima in the USA??) V6 - 2.0 litre SE ato-trans.
130,000 miles

2 irritating issues - may be connected.

1) On start up from cold engine fires, and then slowly dies. If I turn
ignition on and leave for about 15 seconds engine fires and runs &
starts ok. Fuel draining away from injection pump or whatever??

2) If I use full or nearly full steering lock, e.g. when parking,
speedo stops registering, maybe for up to 5 miutes, and then kicks back
in for no apparent reason. Where should I start looking?

Thanks for anticipated help.
