KV6 Variable Intake Manifold System (VIS) Motor Diagnostic Aid
This ‘information only’ bulletin has been issued to aid diagnosis and resolution of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to valve actuator motors assembled to the air intake manifold of the KV6 engine. A noticeable change in engine performance or a ‘rattle’ noise coming from the intake manifold area during idle may be reported. The Variable Intake Manifold System (VIS) on the KV6 engine incorporates two actuator motors (’VIS Motors’) that control the positions of internal flaps and butterfly valves which alter the volume and rate of air induction.
RESOLUTION: RESOLVE VIS MOTOR DTC, NOISE AND PERFORMANCE CONCERNS

Step 1: Remove Factory Air Intake Assembly
Removal of the factory air intake assembly is straightforward. Start by removing the surrounding plastic covers and placing them somewhere out of the way so as not to cause any damage and provide ample working space. Using basic tools, disconnect the intake from the throttle body, unclip the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and disconnect the breather hose. Remove the factory air filter and air box, revealing an opening to the lower fender wall. This is where your new air filter will be placed in order to draw in cooler air.

Ford Electronic Engine Control An Overview
Ford Motor Company was not the first U.S. company to offer fuel injection. Put Ford is the lirst to go all the way, with virtually 100% fuel injection In passenger cars and trucks since 1887. Did I say virtually 100%? Ford police cruisers with big 5.7 liter engines are the only carburetor cars in the recent Ford line-up. Ford Taurus police cruisers with 3.8L engines use electronically-controlled luel injection.
By 1988, most Ford engines inject the luel to eacfi individual cylinder intake-port, known as Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI).

1996-2004 Chevy Blazer 4.3L V6 Brute Force Intake System Installation
The AEM Brute Force Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. It is the most advanced short pipe air intake system on the market. Each system is specifically engineered for its particular application. All AEM Brute Force Intake Systems deliver maximum performance gains through the lightweight, all- aluminum, mandrel-bent tubing that is tuned in both length and diameter. The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating. This special blend of powder coating helps reduce heat penetration, which in turn reduces the temperature of the inlet air charge.

2003-2007 Nissan Murano Engine Air Intake Duct Service Bulletin
Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall on model year 2003 – 2007 Murano vehicles. Under certain conditions, the intake duct, which is connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This could cause minor idle fluctuation or poor acceleration. If this occurs, and the vehicle continues to be driven without being serviced, the engine may stall while driving. To remedy this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace the air intake duct with an updated part and the air duct clamps with new clamps at no charge for parts or labor.
