Hi I am new to the forum and just recently purchased a used 2005 Infiniti fx35. At first it was fine, runnig good, but know I started having problems starting the car up. Bought a new battery and cables still the same problem continues. Any ideas that can help me solve the issue will greatly be appreciated.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum!
I had a problem with my old EX35, it would start and occasionally the engine would die and I would have to give it a little gas when restarting. I fixed this by cleaning the throttle bodies using the following method:
First, I unscrewed them from the intake, but left the electrical connectors plugged in, and placed them on a rag. I sprayed them and let the cleaner do most of the work, wiped the inside and the valves while holding the butterflies closed the whole time(I did this a few times). I sprayed a rag and cleaned the inside the intake as much as possible. I then screwed them back on and followed this youtube video to keep the butterfly valves open and clean the most important area where the valves meet the inside of the throttle body.

I don't know if the video is the right way to do it, but it worked for me. I also cleaned the MAF sensors.
Hope this helps and keep us posted on the results!

If you get stuck, just search for "AC amplifier" on this forum, it was a common starting problem for first gen's.
