evap small leak, vent control valve
I just bought a 97 Maxima SE. The other day my check engine light came on. Took it in and was told it was the vent control valve and an evap small leak. The dealer reset the codes, and said to keep driving it until it came back on, and then make an appt. I don't feel I have been getting the best fuel economy and have been wondering if it has anything to do with this. And if he is right that it is okay to keep driving with these issues. Has anyone had a simliar experience or advice. Thanks

I have. Your dealer was honest to send you home. The CEL might not come back before a while. If they do come back, well have the evap valve changed. That is what I ended up doing.
This is an emission thingie. No harm to the engine if it does not do it`s job. Rest relaxed.
