CEL code 0705 Evap Control Sys

Guys,
This is the third time that I have seen this code. The first time I tried replacing the valve on the canister(Rear wheel well) and managed to hack it all to pieces. So I had to get a new box. The second time I replaced the whole thing with one off a junk car. Now I am getting it again. Do these things only last a year or so or is there another problem?

0705
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0705 points to a problem with the Evaporative Emission Control System.

This malfunction is detected when the EVAP control system has a leak or the EVAP control system does not operate properly. (EVAP = EVAPorative emissions.)
Possible causes include...
- incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve
- incorrect fuel filler cap
- fuel filler cap vent remains open or fails to close
- foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- a leak in the line between the intake manifold and the
EVAP Canister Vacuum Control Valve
- foreign matter caught in the EVAP CVCV
- leaks in the EVAP canister or fuel tank
- leaks in the EVAP purge line (pipe and rubber tube)
- EVAP purge line rubber tube bent
- blocked or bent rubber tube to EVAP control system pressure sensor
- loose or disconnected rubber tube
- EVAP CVCV and circuit
- EVAP Canister Purge Volume Control Solenoid Valve and circuit
- absolute pressure sensor
- tank fuel temperature sensor
- MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve and circuit
- blocked or bent rubber tube to MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve
- O-ring of EVAP CVCV is missing or damaged
- water separator
- EVAP canister saturated with water
- EVAP control system pressure sensor
- refueling EVAP vapor cut valve
- ORVR system leaks


This is a "jackpot" DTC. It points to so many things you don't know what to check. It is often combined with another DTC which is more specific and therefore more helpful.

i just got this code yesterday. WTF man, too many options to choose from. I had a new fuel pump put in last week, could that be related to it? I have also been driving with very low gas recently, could that be an issue?

IMHO, this 0705 code is a one that justifies paying a Nissan dealer to fix it. There are just too many things to diagnose/check. The dealer should catch the culprit fast.

You still are not getting another code besides 0705?
