1. Determining Your Emissions Specification
Open your hood
Locate your catalyst sticker
If the sticker says "This vehicle conforms to California regulations," you have a California emissions vehicle
If the sticker says "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations," you have a federal emissions vehicle
If the sticker lists both EPA and California regulations, you have a California emissions vehicle

Determining whether or not your vehicle is a California emissions or a federal emissions vehicle is pretty straightforward. To do this, you'll want to locate your catalyst sticker under the hood of your vehicle. It'll either be actually on the bottom side of the hood, most GM vehicles have it on the air box, and other vehicles may have it along your radiator support at the front of the engine bay.
All you need to do is see, "This vehicle conforms to California regulations." That means that this vehicle is a California emissions car. Just because you're not in California or are in California doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle will be one way or the other.
Now, our F150 has it down here on the radiator's support, right at the front of the engine bay and you can see here, "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations." This means that this vehicle is a federal emissions.
Now, here we have two things that are a little different. Our catalyst is located on the vehicle's air box and this vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations and California regulations. If it conforms to both federal and California emissions, it's considered a California emissions vehicle.
Thanks for watching. Visit us at 1AAuto.com for quality auto parts, fast and free shipping, and the best customer service in the industry.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the canister purge valve on this 2003 Nissan Frontier. It's pretty much the same for model years 2001 through 2004.You're going to need a new canister purge valve from 1AAuto.com, long flat blade screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a 12 mm socket with a ratchet.
You'll find your vapor canister purge valve on the driver's side, right behind the air box. The purge valve is secured by a 12mm nut and it has a connector and two hoses that go to it. Press the tab in on the connector and pull it off. Then, using a pair of needle nose pliers you can squeeze the clamps, pull them back, and then you can pull the hoses off of the vapor canister purge valve. I'm using a 12mm socket and socket wrench to remove the nut, and I'll fast forward as I do that.
Here, you can see the old part and the new part from 1A Auto. It is designed as a direct replacement fit part. Going back in it's pretty much the same as how it came out. You're going to mount the new canister purge valve. Install the washer with the 12 mm nut, tighten that up. Reinstall your two hoses. Slide the clamps back over the hoses and plug in your connector. I'll fast forward as I do that.

Purge Valve

The purge valve for the 2004 Nissan Altima was exactly what I needed to get my car back on the road. After installing, I no longer had issues when filling the the car with gasoline. It would start right up! I recommend this part to anyone, it came exactly as pictured and the price was the lowest I found.
