2008 G37S Engine stall on start-up

Hey guys, this has happened several times, i would start my car (its an auto) and it would stall out, and for me to get the car to run properly i would have to start it like 3 times until it continues to run, or i would just give the car gas to make the rpms run high... im VERY curious about what is causing this and how serious it could be, and if it is worth getting looked deeply into.. i had mentioned it to my Infiniti dealer when i was getting some service done and they had told me nothing seems to be wrong.. keep in mind this has only happens when the car has been driven previously during the day, so when its warm, NEVER on cold starts.. sorry if this is confusing, but input would be greatly appreciated.

I have a feeling a majority of people are going to tell you to clean your throttle bodies. Have you already looked into doing this, or done this already?

I actually suggested that could be the issue to the dealer and he said that the throttle body most likely isnt the issue.. but then again, that was the dealer lol

Yeah, i see that you have R2C intakes. I'd say maybe clean them if they havent been in awhile, clean the throttle bodies and then go from there.

This. Fixed my start-up/idle/stall issue. I clean them every 20k miles or so...

I would definitely start with the throttle bodies, especially if giving it some gas alleviates the problem. Nissans engines are notorious for this problem. Luckily its a relatively easy fix.

Did you clean your throttle bodies when you installed the intakes?
