At certain engine speeds or loads, you may notice a rattle coming from under your hood. If you can narrow it down to the intake manifold, you may have a Power Valve Actuator, or just power valve, that is worn out or coming apart. Try using a stethoscope like this amzn.to/2mbIuIO to help pinpoint the noise.
It is common on Nissans with power valves for the screws to become loose, or fall out altogether. Also, the shaft that the butterfly sits on may wear out, and have excessive play.
Try manually opening and closing the power valve to see if the noise comes and goes. If so then you will need to remove the valve and see what's going on.

I was literally fixing to sell my Maxima for $400 until I saw your video!!! I was told by a Nissan mechanic that the motor was garbage. Thank you so very very much
Did it work for you?
Bro was your a consistent tapping
Was it consistent like when u crank the car
Thank you for this video. My 2004 Nissan Murano started making a rattling noise. First thought: Its the cam phasers. Went out, opened the hood, worked this valve with my hands. I could not only hear the rattle, I could feel it in the valve. Now I know im not out three grand.
I was hoping we would have had a chance to hear the noise to compare it to our own problem. Did I miss something or did we really not get a chance to hear the noise in this video?
No sorry, this video was an after thought I recorded on my lunch break I believe. I was a long time ago, I dont remember the exact details.
JamesonDIY IT would actually help the community if you would have started the vehicle.
wheres the video. man i was hoping for this one too. i think i have the same issue.
Thank you! My Nissan decided to blow this valve this morning so I hope hubby can fish the pieces out to end the catastrophic death rattle, lol! Last page I checked, the tech kept saying it was a "valve baffle" so I was crying about needing an engine until I found this! You're ad bomb, dude!
Sweet, thanks.
Would hand been a great video had you let us hear what the rattle sound sounded like. But thank you
Thank you for this i called the dealer and they said that I had to change the whole in take!! Now I know that I can just buy the part!!
Bro i cleaned my throttle body and it fixed the rattle noise i suggest you clean your throttle body first and see what happens before u go buying a new intake.
You can just put a block pff plate worhout that and increase horspower for $30 dollers from NWPengineering.com you dont have to waist money for another stock butterfly from the dealer or junkyeard
@@edwardcortes3944 thanks man I will look into it
@@ill4u2nv I will try that also
Delete vac canister, vac lines there connected to it sensor an intake manifold delete sensor also an install a block off plate on the left side.
I did an several others have to.
I wished you made a before and after video of the noise.
What if it doesn’t do anything when you move it while running?
You're a genius, thanks
What is the problem if you hear air bypassing when you move your valve
nissan its going 👇.... good to know.
05 Xterra, vq40de (4.0 v6) also had the VIAS or whatever it’s called, I have the noise around 2k rpm, sounds like a chatter/metal rattle and it’s loud and obnoxious lol. I had a buddy brake boost it and rev up to the rpm’s where I can hear it and I heard it around that location. Should I go ahead and replace it?
Hey there James. Great video. My power valve actuator has lost its seal and is making a big hissing sound. I cannot find this part anywhere online. Where did you buy your replacement? Thanks
+sub can It was at work where I was wroking on that car, but it was sourced directly from Nissan. I believe that's the only place you can get one new.
+AppalachianDIY Thanks for the quick reply. I will check with my local dealership. I was hoping to find an after market cheaper part.
Any o-ring on that thing? Mine is leaking oil and I'm trying to figure out what size ring or what it would be called to buy it??
so in my mazda when i have the key on engine off and press on the gas pedal i hear this really loud rattle based on pedal position. Any idea?
Hi I know this video is old but mine isn’t working properly. When trying to move it, the engine does nothing. Also when my car idling, its normal but then it idles very low. Please reply asap.
Thank you, this video helped a lot
my 2003 Malibu has a ticking noise coming from the intake. Could you please give me some advice. it also struggles to accelerate. there's nothing wrong with my rocker arm, springs, or push roads cause I intially thought it was a stuck lifter but then I used a screw driver to pin point the noise and it's coming from my intake.
any other information you can provide would be helpful. Based on what you said, I have nothing. CEL? What engine? Auto or Standard? And anything else that's helpful
How did you find the noise ,I cant seem to find it sounds like it comes from everywhere.
The mechanic that was working on my murano lost that little plastic clip, could that be the reason I'm burning some oil ?
What's that part called. I have 2005 nissan maxima that needs that part
Thanks for the video, although I would be a little more interested in knowing what the rattle is like.
You did say it happens at certain RPMS. I do have an intermittent rattle on my Murano during acceleration for about 2 seconds. Is your rattle more consistent or also intermittent? It is very hard to pin point ads it only does it under load.
If I remember correctly it sounded like a card in bicycle spokes. If yours only happens under load, have someone power brake the car while you try to pinpoint. This will usually be enough load to duplicate the noise.
Thank you for the prompt reply, Will give this a try this weekend. My alternator just went (Can't really complain after 12 years) so I am driving my other car until I have the time to fix it this weekend. Will reply back with findings
Sounds good. Talk to you then
Alternator replaced, what a pita. And yes my shaft has also worn out like in the video. Thanks for the video again. Can you please provide me with a part number? This way I can get it from the dealer really easy.
thanks
would this one be it?

I just bought a 2013 Maxima with 31k miles on it. When I gas it to pass somebody or accelerate quickly, I hear a faint rattle/wheeze noise. I wish we could have heard the car noise in your video to compare. Nevertheless, I'm hoping it is just a loose part, but my mechanic literally just checked the car out before I bought it and saw nothing wrong.
I think I described it to someones else as a card in bicycle spokes. It's only under accel from the area I pointed out. These engines have another common rattle from the timing area, but that rattle yo usually hear on cold start up
stop using 87 octane :P
TheGuruStud I use 89 chevron lol
Can you actually remove the part without removing the manifold? I removed the bolts that hold the wire harness but doesnt leave me much wiggle room as said in video. Old vid but Im tackling this I just dont see it going in, but havent removed the old one. Only car and its running now. Card on bike noise only when gas pressed
Great video. I was looking for a step by step vid on intake manifold removal and ran into this. My (daughters POS) 04 Altima is throwing the infamous p0011 code. I've narrowed it down to the bank 1 VVT solenoid. But in order to get the old one out; it looks like the intake manifold and this valve you did the vid on needs to get pulled... (Couldn't have been p0012- bank 2... Nice and easy to get to). 👎
Oh well. Murphy's law. If you ever happen to be pulling a 3.5 nissan intake manifold and feel so inclined to record it; I won't complain. You seem to know your business.
Ok cool. Thanks for the info
hi , i know It was a while ago, but do you remember If you got an oil leak from that valve, that dripped onto the vvt solenoid?
What tools do you need to use to take out the whole thing?
Thank u mine did in 1st gear .thank u so much.
Could this be the cause of the car bucking back and forth when letting off the gas or applying gas? Only when in gear but the clutch is fine. Had a CEL that went away on its own. Code was P0456 (very small leak in the EVAP system). Only happens noticeably in lower gears 1st,2nd,3rd.
No that doesn't sound related.
Paranoid Zombie thats a motor mount
Have a 2003 Maxima with this problem. What's the best solution? Just replace the actuator? How do you prevent this problem from reoccurring in the future? Lots of questions!!
Yeah, if that's the noise, replace the actuator. I think the new ones were designed better to prevent the problem from happening again
where can i order same part in vedeo for 2004 maxima some stores doesnt have the same
Is there a gasket?
OK I NEED HELP HERE PLEASE!! I HAVE A NOCKING SAME AREA I RUND IT DNT SHOT OFF BUT NOCKING IS THERE .NOW I CHECK THE OIL OIL IS CLEAR CLEAN SOO IS NOT NO MOTOR? But MECHANICS ALREADY MADE ME BUY ONE BUT JUST SITTING THERE BECAUSE I FEEL SOME FISHY HERE
great video.. thanks
I had a 2005 nissan maxima and everytime i step on the gas pedal there’s a rattling sound. Can somebody help me what it is? Thank you in advance
Eugene Eugenio my 2002 3.5 maxima does the same too that’s what the problem is because I have a check engine code for that solution in that video
When I looked at that on my 08 it’s all black plastic???
That's the problem I'm having with my Nissan Altima 2003. What's the name of the part you showing on your video??
power valve actuator
Too Cee were u able to figure out ur car problem having same issue my car shakes bad and looses power
I have a 6 speed manual, when I'm driving through the bumps and keep my gear at 2 or 3rd speed as it's slowing down I can hear this annoying rattling noise! I think this is what my problem is. I hate it lol it's embarrassing cause people can hear it. Thanks for the video bro
Yeah it could be. Ive had a lot of questions regarding this rattle. I need to do another video. Most Nissan Engine rattles are either this power valve, or timing chain. Let's hope yours is the cheaper of the 2
JamesonDIY I sure hope it's the cheaper one as well lol I took mine out, and it doesn't look as bad as the one on the video lol but I did move it and it has play so I know it needs replacing. But what guarantees would I have that it won't do it again? Like buying one from Nissan or AutoZone? I hope it's not the timing chain. I only 153,000 miles
You will not likely find the valve anywhere other than Nissan, but obviously no guarantees. The timing sprockets on those Nissan engines are prone to failure. I have seem them fail at 40,000 miles. But again, I hope that is not the case with yours.
Hi dear.how r u.
I have bought a second hand nissan maxima 2011.
It pretty good car
Once iam starting up the car
There is some sound comes from the engine .it appear only for 2 seconds like knocking.
Is it a major problem
Very common timing chain issues on that engine. It usually starts as a noise on start up when the engine is cold
JamesonDIY
Yes when the engine cold.
So friend do i have to fix some think .
Does this sound means some think broken inside the engine
not necessarily broken, but probably worn out. You should have a shop look at it, and verify that's what's happening. It will cost more down the road if you don't get it addressed before it gets worse.
Hey mine has the same problem with except when i accelerate the little stick that pulls to open the intake comes out of place should i take it apart and tighten the screws or replace the whole thing
You can try tightening. Either way you will need to remove it. Pull it off and see what's happening with it.
Can anyone verify that this is the cause of the rattle?? Having same issue thinking of doing block off if it is the issue. Thanks
Im getting a wierd humming or suction noise intermittent from the pcv valve into the intake through that hose when the strange noise starts i can feel vibration from the hose connection the pcv valve to the intake, im also getting that rattling which i suspect is the same peice youve shown hear so im gonna do that to assuming i dont need a whole knew intake plenum, what could be causing mt strange noise and vibration can send video if want just did alternator but nkise was there before now its just more noticable as im listening for every sound lol, 2002 maxima 3.5. Got her she was in bad shape at 140k she now has 160 and is running alot better but still needs tlc
Did you try to just remove the PCV valve to see if the noise goes away?
JamesonDIY i did not i doubt its the pcv valve as ive changed it a few times since having the car but the noise neber went away
Gonna replace this part but my google of 2002 maxima power valve actuator and such have no results
I think im gonna pull the intake and clean it out well and replace the intake boot and gaskets but wanna do this power valve as well just cant find it lol
Well if its not the pcv valve, I would imagine it is coming from the vacuum source connected to the PCV valve. Probably inside the intake manifold. A stethoscope can help pinpoint the noise sometimes. But likely inside the manifold. That actuator is probably a dealer only part. Its easy to take out though. I'd do that first just to see if it looks obviously defective
we have a 2004 maxima with a rattle also by the intake but only on start up. can this be the reason?
+OSIS_909 It could be. Hard to say without hearing it myself. To verify if it is the valve or not, have someone start the car while you are holding the the rod on the outside of the valve. Try moving it back and forth while starting the car to see if the noise changes or goes away. If there is no change, then it is likely something else. Rattles like that could also be timing chain noise, among various other things. A stethoscope can help pinpoint engine noises.
If I take that part out by the three screws on the side do I have to replace the gasket or I can use it again??
You can reuse it if it is a metal gasket
I’m in Australia does anyone know where I can buy this part?
My 2002 Nissan is doing this at 80 is that a speed that it would vacuum and is loose like your saying ???my mechanic is baffled ... this definitely seem like the problem .... Please help just bought the car and I feel like its a lemon
Dont go 80
So my 2012 Altima 2.5 has a rattle sound and it sounds just like the sound your making. Could this part be causing that sound ?
Probably not on the 2.5. I don't think they use a valve like this. It may be a timing chain rattle, if it sounds like it's coming from the front of the engine. (by the belt)
JamesonDIY it's coming from that side of the engine. So what does that mean ?should it be a serious concern? The sound bothers me that's why I want to find out what it is lol
would that make the check engine light come on
where to order item the orilleys advance auto have afte market air cool intake valve
question I have a 2014 Maxima, fresh oil change, has new VVT solenoids both left and right because I got a P0021/0011 code and service engine soon light. on cold start I get a hard knocking/rattling, if I push the RPMs to 2000 on idle knocking starts, while driving first and second gear reving up it knocks. need some advice...
It sounds like there might be a timing issue. These engines have a variable cam gear. The intake cam gear is usually the cause. It tends to happen at low mileage, if it's going to happen. It might still be under some type of warranty. Basically the cam gear fails, and causes noise on startup and under load. It will also trigger the codes you mentioned. It could also be broken timing chain guides, but either way, the timing cover would need to come off to inspect. If you're doing this yourself, definitely try to verify the location of the noise, and whether it is mechanical noise, or pre-ignition noise. Pulling the timing cover on these is no fun.
Do some more research, but I'm betting that your issue is timing chain related. Of course any more info you have would be helpful.
@@AppalachianDIYI also have a 2014 Maxima but mine only rattles at start up for a couple seconds. What can it be? I removed the manifold valve but mine is plastic and it doesn’t have a manual lever like yours
So i have the dame ossue and i ordered an oem from ebay but it arived the same way?!? Did i get a knockoff or a dud maybe?!?
Clean your throttle body bro
Thought i would update this i made a comment yr ago if anyone can verify that thats the problem and no one could took the intake off the get to the back 3 spark plug. I figured I'll clean the throttle body since i had the intake off sure and behold once i cleaned and put everything on i noticed my rattle noise was gone so i suggest cleaning your throttle body first before buying anything. The throttle body was very dirty hopefully this helps everyone thats having the same issue.
Was your actuator sound like hissing like air is coming out of it slight rattle when you step on the acceleration
@@Tootoojackson figure it out ?
@@jonnnn4895 i been figured it out my car is running top shape right now
Would this cause my car to overheat
I have an infiniti i35 2003 with p1800 code, the actuator sounds like have an leak of air . is that normal? I have a misfire random and my car wont run more of 140 km/hr , any idea of the problem thanks, the first code was p0304 I replace the coil #4 and p0300 was the new code
the p1800 usually indicates a short in the VIAS circuit. The VIAS is the small thing on top of the intake manifold. Its small and has 2 vacuum hoses to it and one electrical connector. The solenoid itself could be shorted or their could be a wire in the circuit that is shorted or open. Typically the VIAS is bad with p1800, but the wires should be checked for shorts or breaks. For the p0300, check that you connected the coils correctly. Did you disconnect more than just the #4 coil? You can easily mix up #4 and #6 connector.
In the Power valve actuator. I have a whistling sound when I accelerate the engine. i changed the inner/outer tube with new tube clamps But still hear the whistle. could changing the actuator stop the whistle? Thanks
I have the same issue can’t figure it out
@@jonnnn4895 hey I changed the actuator and it has stopped whistling since. 10mm 🔧
Mines sounds like air coming out of it everytime I step on the acceleration I hear a loud hissing noise from the actuator
Vacuum leak
@@Kaijuvq it was year ago i can't remember what it was i now i have a vacuum leak now i can hear hissing coming from my flex pipe i don't if that's normal or not
Pretty sure mine is a bad oil pump or timing tensioner, fiance came back oil plug missing pissed oil when she stopped engine
what exactly is this part called ? and is there any way i can buy it online or would i have to buy it from nissan
It's called the power valve actuator. We got it from Nissan, but you might be able to find one on eBay.
For someone reading comments on Google it's called the Intake Manifold Motor.
Ok Thank you for your video . Gave me more knowledge 💯🎆🎆🎆🎊🎊🎉💪😶📝✏
Cool. Thanks
Wish you would’ve shown us the noise it was making prior
That’s what I was looking for!! 😩 no idea what it sounded like!!
Does anyone know the part number? Thanks!
Where did you buy the parts from?
Go to nwpengineering.com buy a block off plate Without that valve it adds bit more and air flow
I did this no change smh dont think they checked for loose screws GOT the peice from a import place because Nissan does not sale or make
Name part?
I replaced my timing chain and I still get a small rattle on a cold start
Would could be the problem any help?
SO, where's the noise?
My Nissan Altima is making that noise, but only when the AC is on..
There is no way this part fixed it i have bought two new ones from nissan and they come loose just like this.
Go to nwpengineering.com buy a block off plate with out that valve youll thank me later
Does anyone know the part number? Cant find it
Valve A Power
Oem part# 14510-8J19E that is how it comes out from the nissan diagram .
I have a 2009 Nissan Maxima SV 3.5L. I'm hearing a rattling sound when I start my car. ruclips.net/video/y26GeMgxRP0/видео.html
Car still runs fine. After driving the noise seems to die down. I'm not sure if the sound is the timing chain or possibly this intake manifold. I recorded the sound, could you take a listen and give me your recommendation. I'd really appreciate any feedback.
I replied on your video, but that is definitely the timing chain
I replaced the timing chain and I still get a cold start rattle what could this be? Because it makes the exact same noise but it goes away once I start it
Mine does it when i start and on idle .
Hi... Could this problem be the same as this one: ruclips.net/video/_O8qSw4dxII/видео.html
So when I pull the connector or disable the Variable tumble control solenoid valve as seen on the video, the noise disappears. On our mazda, is the VTCS shutter valve actuator the same as the Power Valve Actuator?
They may serve a similar function. I believe on the Mazads, those valves on the intake manifold actually change the volume of air in the intake manifold, effectively making it larger, based on the needs of the engine. Anyway, it could be the noise, but it is more likely the check valve inside the intake manifold. Some Mazdas have a check valve inside the intake manifold that can get stuck. So when air/vacuum passes by it, it can make a pretty loud noise. Also the intake manifolds on many Mazdas have a tendency to crack and leak - which could cause a vacuum leak type noise or whistle.
Did it also give a p0300 code for a random misfire due to this valve altering the gas air flow mixture?
I dont remember. That was a long time ago
Does the power valve actuator have a gasket ?
Yeah I think it was a reusable metal gasket
NWP Block Plate
Not worth it bro you will lose low end power
@@Tootoojackson Not even noticeable. Car runs like a raped ape.
that looks like a DISA valve haha
I have an '05 maxima with 186000 miles. I change the oil every 4500 miles, but I've had a rattling issue for awhile now. When the car starts up it rattles or ticks and when the noise stops when the car reaches about 3000 RPM. But after maybe 10-15 minutes of driving the rattle/tick stops entirely and the car sounds fine...any ideas??
Possibly a timing chain issue. It is very common on these
I took out the valve and it makes the ticking when i move it up and down but when i read the comments it seems like the timing chain tensioner. When the car starts cold it rattles and as it warms up the rattle fades away
It sounds timing chain related. These have issues with the intake cam sprocket going bad, and causing noises like this when the engine is cold, and at low RPM. Most likely you are looking at timing chain plus intake cam gear, and tensioner. Might as well do the water pump at the same time
@@TBrens3 did you ever fix the issue?
It would be nice if I could get the fucking cover off the actuator !!!
These tiny screws wrecked my engine.
That's just awful. Nissan should be held accountable...
bloody nissans.....lol
+Will D Robinson agreed
+AppalachianDIY i did take your advice on amazon for tools so thanks saved me a fortune lol 😃
+Will D Robinson Cool, glad to hear it. Good tools are expensive, saving money on them is priceless
+AppalachianDIY i dont mind spending the money but if its just rebranded theres no point
+Will D Robinson you said it
No way that was causing the noise.. loose timing chain.
If you look through the comments, you'll see I've pointed many people towards timing chain. It was not the case on this car
3.5's make so much overhead noise I'm just shock that what it was.. They need to run on premium and constantly need timing chains and relearns if you dont..
You know you can just throw that thing in the trash and plug the vac to get your customer 5-10 more hp..
@@karlwashere123 if it were up to me, I'd just throw all those cars in the trash can
i love my VQ35.. gotts 345 at the wheel..
Would running a hot wire directly to the solenoid kick it on?
I'm getting that noise would that peace make you cut off if you try to drive it
