- Prevents excess air from mixing with the fuel in your engine
- Can wear out over time due to years of exposure to the elements
- When damaged, can cause low engine power, backfiring, overheating, etc.
The Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket on your Nissan creates a seal between the intake and throttle body. The gasket prevents an excessive amount of air from mixing with the fuel. If the fuel has too much air, the engine will most likely run lean. You may experience a lack of engine power, stalling on acceleration, decreased fuel economy, overheating, backfiring through the intake, and more. It's important to replace your Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket with one that's designed to fit your Nissan Maxima. An improperly fitted Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket may not be as effective and may let too much air into the intake.
In addition to too much air, a mismatched Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket may allow debris, dirt, carbon deposits, and other materials to build up inside the housing, potentially causing other issues down the road.
Similar to other gaskets and seals, your Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket can wear out over time. Excessive exposure to extreme temperatures or foreign debris can cause the Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket to become hard and brittle and eventually crack. A worn out or cracked Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket may not work to keep air from entering the throttle body and intake systems.
The Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket is an essential component of the Nissan throttle body assembly and should be replaced when throttle body maintenance is performed.
Ensure your new Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket is designed to fit your Nissan by shopping Nissan Parts for OEM parts. This Fuel Injection Throttle Body Mounting Gasket fits your Nissan Maxima. Read more fitment information in the What This Fits tab.
