Description

Help keep your engine's idle speed steady with the Standard Ignition Idle Air Control Valve, part number AC278. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1999-2001 Nissan Maxima with the V6-3.0L, the 2000-2001 Infiniti I30 with the V6-3.0L, and the 2002 Infiniti I35 with the V6-3.5L.

An idle air control valve regulates how much air bypasses the closed throttle plate while the engine idles. The engine control module commands the valve to adjust that bypass air, which is how it manages idle speed as operating conditions change.

Part type: fuel injection idle air control valve.
Engines: V6-3.0L and V6-3.5L, as listed for each vehicle.
Quantity per application: the listed applications use one valve per vehicle.

Signs this part may need replacing: an idle that is erratic, surging, too high or too low; stalling at idle or when coming to a stop; or an illuminated check engine light. Other faults, such as vacuum leaks or sensor problems, can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a failed idle air control valve is the cause, AC278 replaces it.
