Have owned car from new and now has 130K miles. Changed spark plugs & fuel pump at 126K miles; changed fan belt and battery at 130K miles. Had throttle body cleaned out last week and Sea Foam applied. All work done at local mechanic (not Nissan). Car starts perfect every morning and idles great in Park or Neutral (RPM's of 1000-1500). When I put it it into Drive or Reverse however the RPM's drop and the car stalls within 1-2 seconds. No check engine light and had it checked and No Check Engine codes found. It will start up straight away then I have to keep the revs up and eventually after 5-10mins it works in Drive or Reverse but feels like it will stall again. I can nurse it to get onto the freeway them it drives perfectly. When coming off freeway exit, it has stalled a couple of times at the Stop sign. During the day, it seems to start and drive fine. Any ideas what else to try? Called Nissan but another $175 for them to diagnose; then whatever they will charge to actually fix whatever the root cause is; however, I have already spent $2K since 126K miles. Is there something about the throttle having to re-learn driving? Any help or guidance appreciated
