Hi all,

So this weekend i gathered the courage to change my spark plugs, in the process of removing a million things I broke a nipple off a solenoid to which a vacuum hose is connected that leads into the some kind of catch can in the front of the car next to the radiator.

...The confusing thing is that when i took out the piece of the broken nipple stuck in the vacuum hose it was completely sealed/blocked. So in essence it seems like there is no need for that piece vacumm hose.

a bit confusing to say the least, not sure if i should buy a new one a or just seal up the solenoid and remove the vacuum hose.

HELP! (please)

(anyone is selling one of these, is that the part number on the solenoid?)

the engine is a rb25de neo

its the carbon canister purge solenoid valve. the carbon canister will be down the front of the car around the passenger head light. the purge valve and carbon canister have something to do with the fuel tank breather, i'm not too sure on when it does it but the purge valve opens to let fuel tank vapours in the carbon canister back into the intake to be burnt off by the engine.

thanks for your help guys,

i ended up ordering the part from nissan genuine $190 it'll take 2-3 weeks they say, bit of a rip off but what can you do.

the part number is 14930 - aa0a ... they call it a 'valve control'

... turned into a very expensive spark plug change

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
