2003 Nissan Murano
82,000 miles
Oil changes and tire rotation every 5k
BG 44k added 2x/yr
I am always on time with maintenance and have never had a problem.
Problem:
Vehicle stalls when restarting vehicle after being driven
Description:
If the car sits for a while it will start no problem at all. In the morning before work it turns right over, but if I have stop and go errands to do that's when I have issues. After everything is all warmed up and I turn it off I will not be able to get it started. I found that tapping on the gas will keep it from stalling, but if I don't then it dies and lights up.
Previous steps taken:
none
Any suggestions?

i would think that it might have a dirty throttle body bore... or dirty idle air control valve ...

Thanks for your help! I made an appointment at the dealer to run diagnostics to find out what it is. I figured it might be the alternator, but I want a definite answer. The diagnostics is $70 which I'm not too happy about since they are just plugging in a computer, but hopefully it will answer my question. He also said it could have something to do with the diodes or many other things....
I'll update next Friday after my appointment.

Hey I'm having the same problem with my car I was wondering if you ever found out what the problem was. Also for future reference the diagnostics test that the dealer charges $70 for is free at autozone or advance auto parts all you have to do is ask them to scan your car with their obd2 reader.
