Hopefully it gets resolved for you soon. But as far as the duct tape that is just the dealer doing his due dillagance when Nissan asks them what they did to make sure it was on the up and up.

I really doubt that using duct tape is part of the troubleshooting process. They have a chart, for lack of a better word, to follow when troubleshooting. If it is acceptable Im sure Audi and BMW, who were slamed on Nissans ads, would love to know they use duct tape to troubleshoot.

Troubleshooting Process:

- Look up CEL code.
- Find some duct tape.
- ???
- Profit!

you are correct the duct tape is part of the troubleshooting process. if after 2
refills of gas if the light does not come on they claim it has to be the gas cap.
sense they have already replaced the filler neck. but what im worried about is the fact its on its second cap already. and if this is the issue is it serious
enough to be consider for the lemon law

Yeah you need to go to a different dealer. That tech doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And since it's considered it's a come back it is going to keep going to the same tech instead of a new one that might know what the hell he's doing. My guess is the evap canister or pump has a leak. They should be triggering the test and using a sniffer to see if it's actually leaking in the system. If it's not they should then be looking at other components of the system. Obviously it's not the cap or the neck they already replaced those. They are probably doing it to rule out you tampering with it as mentioned before.

I once had a car that was setting an evap code and the vacuum hose leading into the canister had a small pin sized hole in it.

good advice. i asked and was told today they already preformed the test that involves putting smoke in the system and it showed no leaks or signs of the smoke whatever that means. iv'e got documentations of four visit's to the dealership the next time it comes on and it will i am contacting nissan.
i'm giving them one chance to fix it then its lemon law time.i've already got all the papers ready to fill out

Good luck with the fix man.

CUNNART · 08-03-2010, 05:46 AM

Yeah I have heard of the smoke test. If there is no out ward leaks more then likely it's the pump that check the system. It could be an ecu error, but at this point my guess is nissan will replace a majority of the items in the system. Manufacturer's will try a lot of things before they buy back a car, I only ever saw 1 car get bought back. GL though.

I would contacted Nissan North America a long time ago! Waiting is getting you nowhere...
