2006 nissan Pathfinder EVAP purge valve

Anyone know where this is located? Wife's car is throwing a P0455 code and the dealer said it needed a new MAF. Changed the MAF and the code reappeared after a week. Took it to the parts store and they scanned it and said it was most likely the purge valve on the canister. A new purge valve is cheaper then what the dealer charges to even look at the car so I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks

I can't believe the dealer said to replace the MAF for an EVAP code. I am off today, but let me see what I can do from the house for you.

I don't know, they're idiots I guess.....

Any luck?

Thanks

P0455- EVAP Gross leak detected. Most common is the gas cap. Use a genuine Nissan gas cap, as most aftermarket ones cause issues. Clear the codes and retest.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
