I'm looking to take apart and clean the TB and IACV on an 01 SE.

I've read over this thread as an early reference (4th gen):

http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...ning-iacv.html

It has some good pictures of what the TB and IACV Gaskets look like. However, in trying to find the gaskets for an 01 at local dealerships they cant seem to figure out what an IACV or IACV-AAC gasket is.

I *think* I've finally got the correct TB gasket, part # 16175-2Y901

However, if I look here: http://www.courtesyparts.com/maxima-...1958_1969.html

It shows the TB Gasket as being part # 16293MA

But, I have not found the correct part # for the IACV-AAC gasket.

Looking here for the '01: http://www.courtesyparts.com/maxima-...1973_1974.html

It looks like the IACV-AAC doesnt use a gasket similar to the 4th gens, and uses a rubber o-ring seal with part # 16076M

What are the right part #'s i'm looking for?

IIRC, courtesy doesn't use the oem part #'s on their site.

If thats the case, am I at least correct that the 01 3.0L doesnt use a IACV-AAC gasket, but does in fact use a rubber o-ring instead?

The 4th gen IACV and Throttle body are separate parts, in separate locations, both require their own separate gaskets.



Where the 5th gen Throttle body/IACV are integrated together, so yes, the oring is what you want to buy.

The IACV is a separate component. The parts breakdown including gaskets is here: http://www.courtesyparts.com/maxima-...1973_1974.html The TB to plenum gasket is not shown on this dwg. The TPS is not shown, BUT please DO NOT remove the TPS or even loosen the TPS attach screws. DO NOT disturb the throttle idle stop screw. Do not "flood" the TB with any fluids, just spray and hand wipe. You can remove the IACV stepper motor from the IACV housing (you should be able to reuse the silicone "O" ring), which actually gives you access for cleaning the critical IACV air passage and pintle seat. You really don't have to remove the IACV assembly from the TB.
