96 EVAP system question

I am trying to eliminate code 75 which means evap system leak. I changed the purge valve and solenoid and checked all the hoses near the area. This eliminated a few other codes but I still have this one. There is supposed to be a hose going to the intake manifold, but I can't seem to find it. can anyone tell me where it is?
thanks for any input.

hmm.. not sure where it is on the max but if you follow the evap lines from the gas tank you'll be able to follow them to the engine.... The best thing to do when it comes to a EVAP leak is to take it to a tech who has a smoke tester for the EVAP system. A dealership will definitely have one .That way he can fill the system with smoke to find the leak.. Thats my opinion...

on 95 and I think early 96's the evap stuff is right in front of the firewall kind of between the strut tower and IAC Valve.

After changing the plastic valve assembly, (the part that has 4 hoses going to it) I was unable to clear the 0705 evap system leak code. I was trying to clear the code by turning the screw on the side of the ECM which didn't work
however after driving the car for about 35 miles the light went off on its own. Its been off for about a week so I assume its OK to get the inspection done.
This Maxima emissions system is one of the most finicky systems I have ever worked on.
