Same issue here. 2009 AT base model 370z. No aftermarket parts except leather seats.

Starting the whole RPM-dropping-during-idle at stop lights or when parked, and would sometimes die when trying to idle - usually from a cold start.

Had the TBs cleaned + some other work, went away for a couple months, now it's back in full force - I had 3 failed back to back start attempts today after working out at the gym for about 2 hrs.

Finally got it to stay running by hitting the gas as I start the car.

Very frustrating, not too happy with Nissan, considering all the other issues I've had with the Z

edit: I should mention this started showing up around 60k miles, at 68k right now
