i don't know if anyoe has experienced this problem but when i start my car it doesn't go to idle it just stalls out. rpm would jump up to 2500 as if it would start then drop back down and shut off. i have the g37s in automatic. the only way i can keep it on for sure is by stepping on the gas so the rpm goes past 3000. or sometimes if i try starting it a couple times it will stay on. its has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. the last time it happened was 2 days ago. any help or ideas would be great.

unusual. Its under warranty. Bring it to the dealer. Thats all I can say because there is nothing for me to deduct. Its new. never heard of that one. Is your SES light on? While its running? It sounds to me like a 3rd cycle issue... anyway have it checked at the dealer. They'll hook it up to a computer and see whats not clicking...

i did bring it back to the dealership and they said that my dtrl module is causing a misfire cuz the company that i had install it tied the dtrl into the ignition coil and they werent supposed to do that. make any sense to you? i went back to the company that installed the dtrl to file a complaint and have them pay for repairs but they sad thats how your supposed to install the daytime running light module, and they have been doing it for all car makes. but my dealership is telling me that you can't do it for this particular car for some reason. let me know it that makes any sense. one of them is feeding me a line of crap but i don't know which one.

Either try another Infiniti dealership or get supporting information from the company that installed the module and call Infiniti to pitch a fit.

I'm confused by your post

You have a brand new car in Canada where daytime running lights are required. I think?

Why didn't the vehicle come with them and if not, why didn't a Canadian Infiniti dealer install them?

Wise words telcoman, I'm in Canada, we do have daytime running lights which are stupid anyway... but yeah, what's Infiniti thinking sending a new G37 off to joe shmoe to get electrical work done.

I presume it is a safety issue? Darkness in Canada is much longer in the winter and they are probably necessary? Here in NJ headlights are required whenever windshield wipers are in use but you would be surprised at the number of a$$ that refuse to turn on their lights in bad weather and poor visiblity.

What was the difference in cost between an Infiniti dealer & the shop that did the work?

I am sort of divided on this 'safety issue'. If in auto mode the lights will come on if it is dark enough outside regardless if you are in Canada or Texas.

What I am surprised about is that on my 99 Chrysler in auto mode the headlights will come on if the wipers are in use regardless of how light or dark it is outside. Why my 08 Infiniti didn't have this feature (along with the auto door locks) seems to be a cost cutting feature on their part. Should be easy enough to add in, but it seems this should have been included.

One thing that bothers me about daylight running lights is that the lights will not last as long and will possibly fail to work when you need them the most at night. Also if everyone has their lights on the effect is somewhat lost.
