The engine in your Nissan operates with a vacuum-sealed internal system, and an intact Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for maintaining that tight seal. Your Nissan's engine intake manifold serves to regulate the flow of air equally through your engine cylinders when it's running. The Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is installed between the manifold and the engine to stop any air leaks, which could reduce your engine's efficiency significantly.
Your Nissan Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is built to stand up to everyday driving for several years, but you may need to replace it if yours becomes worn or damaged. A faulty Engine Intake Manifold Gasket can lead to engine misfires or a loss of power, which means your engine is likely working too hard and weakening its long-term function if your Nissan Engine Intake Manifold Gasket isn't creating a seal like it's supposed to. If your engine has been running “rough” or your fuel efficiency has diminished over the last few weeks, you'll want to turn to the pros and have the engine inspected and get a clear idea of your Engine Intake Manifold Gasket's condition. We recommend visiting a nearby Nissan dealer or authorized service location.
In some vehicles, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket may also keep coolant where it should be: INSIDE the engine. If you spot drips of orange or green coolant on the garage floor underneath where you park or detect the odor of coolant (it tends to smell distinctively sweet) coming from your Nissan, the Engine Intake Manifold Gasket could be leaking. Not surprisingly, low coolant levels can lead to an overworked (and extremely hot!) engine, which may create major wear and tear within your engine over time.
Your Nissan Engine Intake Manifold Gasket is essential for maintaining your engine, and installing a new one is no easy task. For that reason, we recommend purchasing your new Engine Intake Manifold Gasket directly from Nissan, then take your Nissan to a local service site or dealer to carefully install it for you. When you shop Nissan Genuine Parts, all parts and accessories are tailor-made to your vehicle's precise specifications, and are backed by a 12,000 mile/12 month (whatever happens first) limited warranty (if installed by dealer at the time of purchase).
