did you get the problem fixed? my car stalled on me tonight upon starting it, this is like the third time it happening from summer until today.

Nope, haven't cleaned the throttle body? Is this something that is mainly done during a service at Infiniti?

Thanks

Had this problem for +9 months. Would happen on and off, usually during the summer after driving long periods. Finally got the throttle bodies cleaned and guess what, no more problem. I'm 99.9% sure this has to do with cleaning the throttle bodies. It's not a recommended service procedure, so I paid a bit to have it done during my 75k maintenance. You can try getting this covered under warranty since it's a powertrain issue, but it was just easier for me to pay and be done with it.
