2003 altima 2.5,
ok first off my car is now running after a ordeal with it dying on my wed & not wanting to start up again. now with a new MAF it stays on but now i have to give it some gas when i start it just to get it to idle, there are no error codes/check engine light. i drove it for abit & seemed to idle very low at stops so now im stuck & dont know what to do or check... please if anyone has any idea what it could be please any help is very appreciated.

Could possibly be a faulty 02 sensor or a cat issue. Is it doing this all the time or only under certain weather conditions? How long has it been going on? I had an issue like this on my B14 and it turned out to be loose battery cables. Weird, yes, but may want to check that as well.

I was wondering about the cam or throttle sensors, would they have anything to do with any of that. reason i ask cause today i went on a longer drive & it drove fine but when i came to a stop & pushed on the gas to go again it died trying to make a right turn... oh and on the question above i dont have a cat & havnt had for yrs now as for O2 sensor i check em and nothing.
