3. Start car ( about 55-65 degrees...weird temps in Phoenix lately) - startup is fine.
4. Brief idle
5. Push accelerator pedal and only get about 25% throttle.
6. Mash to floor and leave it there...R's come up but VERY slowly - a couple thousand rpm
7. Shut car off, restart, repeat....
8. Usually about the third or 4th time, she comes alive and voila all is well until the next morning when we proceed with step 1 again

NO CEL, NO CODES, Nissan dealership can't recreate so they can't fix anything

Ideas?

Dang, never thought I would experience it out of nowhere but the dreaded "half-***-limp-mode" has struck me!

I am experiencing ALMOST EXACTLY what you are except it is my first time.

I restarted off the highway, still in limp.

Drove home, restarted, it went away but something felt off. My exhausts seemed a bit more quiet and the tranny was shifting a bit strange, like almost a bit "slushy" feeling.

I went out again tonight, seemed like she had power but still felt a bit off. I will try the stealership tomorrow and see what happens.
