I just got back from a 10 day vacation and went to start my 2003 Pathfinder this morning and it was having trouble starting. After two times without using the gas petal, the third time I used the gas petal and got it to a low idle. However all of the warning lights are on and if you press the gas nothing happens, the engine just remains at idle.

After shutting it off and turning it on a few times it would start fine and go to idle, but all the lights remain on and nothing happens when you step on the gas pedal. Luckily I can walk to work. I'm going to go back at lunch and see how things go.

Any help would be great.

Thanks -M

Incase anyone else has the same issue. I had the car towed to the shop. The car was going into safe mode because the alternator was putting out 19 volts, so to save the electrical components the car wouldn't go above idle. Had to have a new alternator installed.
