2000 Nissan Maxima idle issues

[Brian2000maxima]

I have a 2000 Nissan maxima it idles below 1000 rpm and then it stalls. It starts up fine in the morning when it's cold but after I switch off or drive it, it cuts off and I have to apply pressure on the gas and hold it to start it up. Took it to a mechanic and they scan it the only code that came up was for the coil packs. Please help me and by the way I'm new to this forum

As far as I know there is no cel code for coil packs. You can throw a misfire code leading you to believe it may be coilpacks. Easy way to do it is have it scanned again and check which cylinder was misfiring and then you can try to diagnose from there. If it's a misfire code like I think then it would point you to coil packs, spark plugs, or fuel injector. Hopefully it's not the injector. Also an easy way to test your coil packs is to unplug 1/6 and see if it changes idle. If it doesn't change it then it's not working...note if you do this then you will throw a bunch of misfire codes but you can just scan it and clear it if you have access to a tool. Autopart stores will check it but they are not allowed to clear it. Keep in mind that if you buy coilpacks as a set online then they are much cheaper. You don't gotta do them all but if you end up having to buy 1 three separate times like me then you would have wished you got 6 for the same price. Same with fuel injectors (and the rear ones are a pain). Pull the spark plugs and check for deposits and check what brand they are. Everyone always says stick with ngk on these cars. Goodluck I have dealt with this a lot lol.
