OEM EVAP Canister Purge Valve for the 2002 - 2004 Nissan Altima equipped with either the 2.5L or 3.5L engines.

The EVAP (Evaporative Emission Control System) canister purge valve is a component of a vehicle's emissions control system. Its primary function is to control the flow of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister to the engine for combustion. Over time, the purge valve can become worn or malfunction, which can lead to emissions issues and other problems.

Here are some signs that the EVAP canister purge valve may need to be replaced:

• Check Engine Light: A malfunctioning purge valve can trigger the vehicle's check engine light to illuminate. This is often accompanied by the retrieval of specific diagnostic trouble codes related to the EVAP system.
• Rough Idle or Stalling: A faulty purge valve can cause the engine to run poorly at idle or even stall. This is because the improper flow of fuel vapor disrupts the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
• Increased Emissions: A malfunctioning purge valve can lead to increased emissions from the vehicle. This can result in a failed emissions test or poor environmental performance.
• Fuel Odor: If the purge valve fails to properly control the flow of fuel vapor, it can lead to a noticeable fuel odor, especially around the vehicle's fuel tank or near the engine.
