I have a 99 Maxima with 80K miles on it. Lately, especially on cold starts, it has been giving me problems with starting. It has never not started, but two different problems are occurring. The first is that the engine will catch right away and jump to about 1500 RPM and then immediately drop down to about 5 for a few seconds then back to normal idle revs. If it doesn't do that, it is usually taking a little longer to start. The starter motor still turns over at normal speed, but something is not catching. Once it catches, though, it runs fine. Recently I have replaced the ignition coils and spark plugs and battery. I also took the car into the dealer and they couldn't find a problem. Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks in advance.
