Questions about the VIAS Solenoid. Please Help!
I have a CEL and went to a Mechanic and got told my VIAS Solenoid had to be replaced. For a quick fix to pass inspection, my friend suggested going to the salvage yard and buying a used one. The salvage yard only has a 4 cylinder VIAS Solenoid. My Maxima is 6 Cylinder. Is that a no no?

The VIAS solenoid does not light up the Check Engine light as someone already stated, so it shouldn't affect passing any inspection. It is not an emissions related item (if it's some sort of emissions test).
If you got one at the junkyard and the light came back on, it's also defective and you should return it. I went through four!!! before I found one that worked. You can also grab one from an Altima (and I would imagine a Quest as well) as long as it's a six cylinder. A new one here in Canada is about $220, but I'd imagine much cheaper in the USA.

you can have my old one (no code when pulled) for whatever shipping costs.
let me know, its going in the trash sooner than later since i got rid of my max.
note: mine came off an 02, i cannot confirm they're identical on a 6th gen (but it probably is).

Nissan Drvr98 please and thank you! I have tried all of the salvage yards around my area and nobody has one. Private message me so we can exchange info.
Regarding the bad valve body, I think you might be right. My Maxima has 160k on the dash!!! It has begun to stall out when switching into 3rd.

Hi actually have the same error codes. I think the P0744 was what thrown my SES light on. How did you guys fix this? I just noticed it does not shift gears till it hit the 3000+ rpm. Got an 04 SL as well. Will that transgo shift kit help?
