upon close inspection, i think i have found what has been throwing me the 0111 code which is for EVAP control system/Flow. im 99% sure this is the problem since the tube to the "evap purge cut valve" somehow has been cut. how do i go about fixing this? i think i need to change the valve or can i just use some tape and put it back together?

 

not an EGR and such expert but could be the source. replace the cable and reset ecu and see if it was the culprit. Junk yard may be the best place to grab it for a buck or two.

 

Yes, that is most likely the culprit. If it was just a hose, you could use some tape to seal it, but since that whole thing is broken off, get a new one. I don't think the EVAP purge cut valve is too expensive.

 

dealer wanted 90 bux for a new one. guess i can pick one used for about 30 bux....

 

mechanics cut those in order to get you to come back.

if its a hose, trace the vacuum source and re-run a line.

if its a wire, just get a new one.

It's not a hose or wire, the nipple on the EVAP valve has been completely broken off.

 

exactly lol

 

my 96 gle is givin me a evap code 1008 anybody know how much its gonna run me to replace my whole evap system or what other options do i have

 

Thats the purge control valve - broken by the FSTB - as the engine torques... its a common problem around here.. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet.

 

My code was 0304? Someone on this thread mentioned getting a used valve. IMHO and the opinion of the Nissan dealer, these bad-boys have a finite life and are designed to go bad south of 60k. So getting used just wastes a lot of labor and is not time well-spent. My .02....

 

That is your problem Mike. You need a new one, unfortunately I just sold mine for $25.
You could just glues it back together but that runs the risk of the glue blocking the air passage. Tape could work for a short time. Get a hot glue gun, hold the broken piece in place and glue it around the break.
Also what was the need to open another thread about the same problem?

 

mike why do you keep having problems with your car..god damn dude...oh well good luck fixing it AGAIN

 

pvc cement would work like a charm.

 

Oddly enough I have a 1995 and those EVAP Purge valves are no where in site. I've seen them on other later year maximas, which is located just behind the TB ontop of the Intake manifold. I'm curious if I even have one?

 

thats because 96 was the year the OBD-II was required on all vehicles. Some 95's don't have it because it was not regulated.

 

becuase i deleted the other one
