OEM Idle Air Control Valve Gasket for 1996-2002 Nissan Pathfinder models equipped with the VG33E powertrain.

The idle air control (IAC) valve gasket is a small rubber or cork seal that is used to create a tight seal between the idle air control valve and the intake manifold. The IAC valve helps regulate the engine's idle speed by controlling the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate. Over time, the gasket may deteriorate or become damaged, which can lead to vacuum leaks and affect engine performance.

Here are some signs that the idle air control valve gasket may need to be replaced:

• Vacuum leaks: A worn or damaged gasket can cause vacuum leaks around the idle air control valve. This can result in rough idle, unstable idle speed, or stalling of the engine.
• Engine performance issues: If the gasket is leaking, it can disrupt the proper air-fuel mixture in the engine, leading to reduced power, hesitation, or poor acceleration.
• Visible damage: If the gasket appears cracked, torn, or worn out, it should be replaced to ensure a proper seal.
• Check engine light: In some cases, a faulty or leaking idle air control valve gasket can trigger the check engine light to illuminate.
