I didnt know this POS was multifunctional, not only it supposedly gives you better handling, but it's secretly a rev limiter too. dare to rev past 5k rpm and it throws you a nice little orange light on the dash as a "thank you" note, fukcin 01 11.





my 3rd time replacing this valve thanks to the POS.

does the stillen or alutec clear this thing? post pics please




yah yah i took it off already........

 

The Courtesy Bar interferes slightly with that as well. It's a simple matter to bend the bracket that it attaches to. I've never broken mine.

 

what is the puropse of this valve BTW? , my otto FSTB is touching it also, but not causing any problems.


Nick.

 

damn that sux. i bought a fstb from the group deal before. no problems with it yet....

 

its the EVAP purge cut valve.

 

"EVAP cannister purge control valve" is what it's called. I had this happen to me about a year ago. When I replaced the expansive platic round thing, I just took some pliers and bent the metal bracket down so I have good inch of clearance...easy fix to the problem. Haven't had problems since.

You can drive around with it broken for a while but you'll have poor idle and gas smell time to time. I think it's like $70 at the dealer brand new but you can find one cheap used ones.

 

How much lower can you go? lol Do you not scrape anywhere?

 

I strongly urge you to free up some space between the two before this problem happens... and trust me it will happen sooner or later.

 

i got a used one from junkyard off a 95 for $15. this time it was the 3rd time lol

 

In that picture I noticed that the top of the bar is tilted down pressing agaist the EVAP. You could try to loosen the nuts on each side of the bar, then retighten them once they are holding the bar back away from the EVAP. I hope you get what I mean.

 

VIP what code did you pull when the dashlight came on?

 

i pulled the 01 11

black maxima, i already did that

 

DAAAYYYM, now your getting me nervous. Maybe I should take mine off?

 

mine is off already. im goin to bend the bracket and put it back on. like i said, this is the 3rd time im replacing it. lol

 

woo hoo!!! so now i know what's causing that. My car starts wierd too. I'm guessing that mine got damaged too also showing 01-11...So what part should i ask for at the stealership??? or should i order it online. maybe i believe courtesyparts.com?? also i think my evap canister needs to be chagned too...

 

EVAP cannister purge control valve

$52~53 buck at http://www.nissan-parts-online.com/n...ne_catalog.htm

you should look at the parting-out threads and get them much cheaper.

i paid $70 at the dealership back in the day.

 

just get em from a junkyard man. i got mine for $15 like i said previously.

 

Uh-oh, gotta check mine tomorrow, I've been having high idle problems, hopefully it's not the FSTB, if so, I'll take it off.

 

what's up with everybody today. need to explain things like 3 times in the same thread. there's an easy way to fix the evap valve problem and that is just to bend the brackets. no need to get rid of your fstb

 

VIP wned:!!!!!!

I have a Stillen and bent my bracket just a bit and it has plenty of room for engine rockin' and rollin'

 

Hmm I think I found your problem... its the injen intake =P

 

HAHAHA! thats what exactly happened to me. mine was the ebay round courtesy FSTB and it broke my purge control valve! it was a pain. i cost me 101 bucks for a new one so im planning on having a FSTBless for right now.

 

idk mine from ebay for 24 bucks shipped isn't touching anything and fit like it was supposed to...it's a good cheap mod.

 

i no this has nuthn to do with your thread, but u have a nice as* drop!

 

mine did the same thing. bend the bracket down so it doesn't touch. or throw another piece of pipe around it.

 

I think I may have one of these valves at home. I'll sell it if someone needs one. Just PM me if you are interested and I will look when I get home tonight. *Sorry for the ***** but I may be able to help someone out*

 

Dude seriously... you never thought of posting something like this before so somone would have told you to bend the damn bracket?!? wtf

 

I have the same strut bar ... I had to bend the sensor out of the way ... the metal clips hold it together are easily bendable by hand ... no problem so far ....

 

I think my FSTB touches it slightly, but haven't had a problem.

 

Hey guys looks like my is not there, I have the same strut bar, here's a pic:
Where's my EVAP cannister purge control valve?

 

I believe only 5spds have that canister by the strut bar. Not exactly where it is on the auto.

 

Mine has plenty of clearance.

 

autos have it under the strut bar also...

 

You may have install the bar itself backwards...

 

Here:

 

I dont have that there anymore, since i got the VI swap, but i never experienced any issues like this with my stillen FSTB

 

No Kor, I have nothing that looks like it around there, Ima go take pics right now...

 

Here are the pics, crappy but there is no cansiter there:

 

i think 99s don't have it. someone else cam chime in on this.

 

^^99 is different than previous years, new design. I have a cheap ebay bar like above and I have plenty of clearance under it, no problems at all.
