I have a 1998, 3.3L 4x4 auto. 170,000 miles. My wife filled gas tank one day last week while it idling and it started acting like it was missing after that. She drove it 200 miles through the mountains and got it home. No codes. I opened the gas cap, that looks good, and the tank depressurized for no kidding, 5 to 6 minutes. At first it was heavy and wet fumes coming out, then eventually faded away. No visible leaks anywhere, or damage. I loosened the gas cap and drove it for 18 miles. No change. Acts like it's mildly missing. Plug and wires only 1 year old. No codes. Also, the RPM gauge shakes about 200 RPMs when it feels like it's missing. Any ideas? Do ya think my ignition coil just happened to go bad at the same time? Would that not toss a code? Thanks!

@@thesetruths1404 Honestly I don't know. Although the gas tank seems to be very pressurized beyond normal. The other thing is no codes. You may need a better code reader or your computer is not working right or able to pick up these problems. If it was a coil you would think you would get a code but you are not getting a code for the e-vap system either. It sounds to me like it could be the vent solenoid. But considering the age of the car I would say it could also be the charcoaled canister. I would replace both. A bad e-vap system can do weird things.
I’m having a problem where it will start just fine but the next day it won’t. It’ll fire up but immediately be killed then forever crank. The next day it’ll crank right up. I replaced all positioning sensors but crankshaft bank 2. I have an evap P0455 and p2188 code (running rich at idle). My guess is evap because I have no misfires and my spark plugs are new.
At least 8 of theses 2002 pathfinders at my local junkyard 5 min from my house it's what I drive and it's where I get all my parts. That canister would be ten bucks hoses for free
Can you show me where the vacuum cut bypass valve is on the pathfinder. I know it's somewhere in this area

Purge valve is up front to release vapors into engine. What you replaced was the vent valve (solenoid) from the canister.

Great video!!Question. What is the part number for the pressure sensor?
Great video..where are you located
