OEM Lower Intake Manifold for 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder models equipped with the VQ35DE powertrain.

The Lower Intake Manifold is an important part of the engine's air intake system, responsible for directing air to the engine's cylinders. It is typically made of aluminum and is designed to last the life of the vehicle. However, there are some situations in which the lower intake manifold may need to be replaced.

Here are some signs that the lower intake manifold may need to be replaced:

• Coolant leaks: The lower intake manifold may develop cracks or other damage that can cause coolant to leak from the engine. This can result in overheating and potential engine damage if left unaddressed.
• Engine misfires: A damaged lower intake manifold can cause air to leak into the engine's cylinders, resulting in misfires and reduced engine performance.
• Rough idling: Air leaks caused by a damaged lower intake manifold can also cause the engine to run roughly at idle.
• Check engine light: A damaged lower intake manifold can trigger the engine's check engine light.
• Visible damage: If the lower intake manifold appears visibly damaged, such as cracks or warping, it may need to be replaced.

Ensure proper fitment and function with this genuine Nissan replacement.
