2000 Maxima SE (MT) 173K Miles VIAS Problem
Hi everyone, I've read a thread on this forum that talked about, how all 5th Gen Maximas, have an issue with the linkage in the VIAS system. My question is, what symptoms should I look for to determine if this problem has happened to my car?

^^^make sure you have a set of grip pliers handy incase you strip those super soft screws that secure the vias to the upper intake. and since your taking it apart pick up a these ( http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...___#fragment-1 ) to replace the screws. they come 4 in a pack which is exactly how many you will need.

Before you waste time with those screws. Take the IM off, flip it over, turn the VIAS actuator by hand. You should be able to see the power rod through the runners turning if it's good.

So if I can see that rod spinning, than I know its fine and doesn't need to be JB Welded?

Okay, I'm gonna take it apart this Saturday, and glue the rod back into the cup, if its broken. How much are you looking to get for your IM?
