The Nissan 350Z Canister Purge Valve channels fuel vapors trapped in the charcoal canister into the intake of the V6. This allows the vapors to burn instead of being vented to the atmosphere. Therefore, it keeps the smog-causing hydrocarbons in check. The Canister Purge Valve is computer-controlled, allowing for the opening of the valve when manifold vacuum is high. This introduces fresh air through the canister so vapor mixes with the normal air fuel charge. Although early 350Z models are built with a similar basic solenoid design, the later OBD-II versions improved upon this configuration by combining the Canister Purge Valve with a sealed canister vent solenoid and a fuel tank pressure sensor, allowing the engine computer to pull a test vacuum and detect leaks. Although the function is the same, the style is new with an added wiring connector and tighter sealing. These features allow the ECM to switch the Canister Purge Valve on during self-checks and trigger a warning lamp if vapors escape. The second Nissan sports car can display a check engine light and idle roughly due to a sticking open or closed device. However, tightening the fuel cap usually restores EVAP balance, which was assumed at fault by the Canister Purge Valve, thus keeping Nissan 350Z emissions legal.
