Hey Infiniti enthusiasts! I have a 2004 Infiniti g35 that has trouble staying started. It fires up perfectly normal like it's supposed to, but when the Rpms lower back to an idle, it just dies right away, unless I give it a little gas, say 1500 rpm. Then it stays started fine, kind of acts like it has trouble finding the idle point when I let off the gas pedal, meaning it drops a little below idle and then kicks back up to a normal idle. Does this every time I start it anyone have any ideas?!? Please help
Thanks for your time.

With a thirteen year old vehicle spend the one hour diagnostic fee at you local Infiniti dealer prior to just guessing and replacing parts without knowing the exact root cause.
Could be lots of things such as fuel pump pressure, vacuum leak, and others.

Just my $.02
