I've performed the cleaning process on my 2 Maxima's and never had to hacksaw the bolts this procedure details. Some say you need to remove the intake manifold, some say you don't.

My point with 'cleaning it' was to resolve this as an issue. The new one had resistance in the 36-37 range, exactly what the old one was when cool. Had I tested the old one at cold and gone with...

Yep, that RTV is required!
