And EGR if equipped. Cleaned mine last week and went from 22mpg to 29. Pretty simple way to save some cash.

This was on an SR, but I've had similar results cleaning the EGR on a Toyata 22RE

EGR tube on a 4th gen maxima is a pain in the *** to remove. IACV is fairly simple though

QFT!
EGR tube is a PITA on pretty much anything.

+1, but instead of adding a carb, I added a bigass turbo. 22-27 MPG in said 240, not too shabby.
