Warm start problems

The car starts up fine when the engine is cold, but for warm starts it'll crank then the rpm would drop very low and occasionally stall. I can prevent the engine from dying by hitting the accelerator, but I would really like to get this fixed.

Things I have tried:
New battery
New MAF
New spark plugs
Cleaned throttle body
Hard reset ECU

Any ideas of what else I can try?

This isn't my car, but the problem is nearly identical.

Thanks, I called the dealership mentioning this TSB, and one of the solutions is to reflash the ecu. They want to charge $140 to do it, this seems pretty high to me to be honest. Does this seem remotely reasonable? Anybody know if it is possible to diy this?

The next closest dealership is a couple hour drive away, it looks like I'll just have to pay the fine.

I'm currently working through the same issue with my 2008 G35x.

I removed and cleaned throttle bodies over the weekend. Now I'm getting high idle on cold start so I'm going to reset ECU and perform relearn procedures for accelerator pedal release position, throttle valve closed position and idle air volume.

Did you try any of the relearn procedures when you reset ECU?

I tried ECU reset and various relearn procedures but I'm not sure if they worked. Idle is still elevated, ~1,400 rpm on cold start but settles down to 600 rpm when warm. Warm start issue seems to been cured.

Can anyone tell me if cold idle speed of 1,400 rpm is OK or do I need to repeat one or more relearn procedures?

I actually have tried the relearn procedures, but honestly I think there might be a bigger problem in my car. From what I understand though it takes the ecu some time to fine tune the idle after it's been reset and I think the rpm will depend on the weather. I've noticed during the winter my cold start idle revs would be very high.

relearn ECU?

so what's the relearn ECU procedure for the newer models?

so my car does NOT even attempt to start so the RPM needle does NOT move at all.

no crank of any sort...
