EVAP Crap
The story:
My 96 has been throwing a code 108 as of late. Running beautiful. FSM said it had to do with the EVAP system.
Took it to nissan for one of those $80 diagnostic checks... Man I hate that place... But long story short nissan tells me I need to replace two parts. The parts are:
EVAP Canister
EVAP canister vent control valve
One of these is $116
The other is $96
The question:
Do I really need this crap? Is there any way to disable the vent control valve without throwing a code. I know these problems aren't causing me any driving problems I just can't stand seeing that check engine light, and I don't want to unplug the light just in case something else goes wrong.

Just because you think it's running good. Doesnt mean it is. If the car isnt modified to be a race car & is in pretty good shape. replace the parts. You can get them at NAPA for about 1/4 the price & do it yourself very easily.

I agree with you. Just because I think the car is running right does NOT mean that it is. What I mean is everything feels normal. No missing, hesitation or anything like that. I should have been clearer on that one.
As for NAPA I called them they told me they have nothing for the EVAP system at all. Not the canister or the valve. I also tried discount, etc. No place seems to have these parts in my area for some reason.

If I am not mistaken it has something to do with the fuel vapor. And seriously, if anyone knows where I can buy these parts online let me know. I've been googleing my *** off and all I can find is the canister.

I found and read that list also but I have no idea what it means in terms of actually getting the part.

That explains why no one has the parts.Well, I should be able to buy the parts from the dealership and install them myself. It looks pretty simple.
