vg30e Intake manifold question

[ahardb0dy]

When I was at the junkyard Sunday one of the pathfinders had the intake manifold removed and it was laying on the ground upside down, what is the part that looks like a IACV solenoid on the bottom of it? Or is that what it is?

That is the IACV

[Nefarious]

the brass coloured solenoid is the AAC valve, the whole assembly including aluminum body is the IACV

Another part easy to get to if you want to clean it, NOT !!!!

Yup and I'm pretty sure mine is screwed up or dirty. Guess ill look into it when I do the valve cover gasket.

What does it do?

[Nefarious]

It controls idle rpm and fuel mixture control at idle. Also triggers high idle when the a/c is turned on.
