Hold a steady idle by metering the air routed around the closed throttle plate with the Hitachi Astemo Idle Air Control Valve ABV0043. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2002 Infiniti QX4 and the 2001-2002 Nissan Pathfinder, both equipped with the V6-3.5L engine.
When an idle air control valve sticks or wears, signs it may need replacing include an unstable or fluctuating idle, stalling at stops, or hard starting. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the source first; if a failed idle air control valve is behind them, this drops in to replace it.
