Had a rat make a nest in my 2016 Maxima Platinum engine and it chewed the tubing(hoses) off of the right solenoid valve (there are 2 solenoids under the black engine cover that says V6 Nissan). Easily picked up new tubing from auto parts store but since they were completely chewed off, not sure if the two tubes criss-cross or connect directly to the inlet below. I have searched countless images but they all show the engine with the cover, and on such a new model cannot find videos of the solenoid. Would appreciate an image of the 2016 Maxima engine close up under the cover.

 

Can't supply you with a photo, but once the mice/rats know of a good chew they'll be back. If you come up with future damage that is more severe you can file an insurance claim using your comprehensive part of your policy.

 

I send you one later get i get home , i remove my from day one , my intake manifold runs cooler here in az with out it. I have a bullydog tune the shows me my temps .

 

Thanks certainly appreciate a picture, the car is not running smooth and need to know if it is properly hooked up.

 

i have a few mods like i remove the vaccum valves on the side of the intake and put a cover so i can have a full open intake all the time.

 

Can you explain the purpose of this mod? I see the block off plates but what's the benefit of removing the vacuum? Also what are the possible damages that can result from this? I remember you said you were a master mechanic for Nissan so I'm sure the reasons are valid.
