   2003 Nissan Maxima SE. Although the application chart of both Amazon and the manufacturer state that this is the correct part, it is not. According to the manufacturer, the correct part for this particular vehicle is actually Dorman #911-502. However, both Dorman and Amazon state that the #911-502 will specifically not fit.

   Check your actual part before ordering. The difference is that the #911-502 has the mounting flange and two bolts to secure the part to the vapor canister, where the #911-503 does not. As such, if you order the «correct» part number as shown, you will have no way to permanently mount the part.

   Just a word to the wise; I wasted both time and money.

   Purge Valve OE, March 4, 2011

   Only took a 2 days to receive it. Truly OE. Took the other out, plugged this in (bayonet type mount) and plugged the wire back in and bingo. I had Auto zone diagnose the car code for free. When getting gas, if this unit is bad, the pump keeps clicking off as if the tank is full. Solved the problem in 15 minutes. That’s all it takes to replace it.

   My husband has an ’05 Nissan Sentra, and for a great while, it took FOREVER to put any amount of gas in. The pump would click-off thinking it was full, and when I finally said, enough was enough, was when I was attempting to put a little gas in and it started spitting back out at me (hazardous).
   We plugged a device in to read the codes for the light that kept coming on and it gave us the code for a plugged vapor canister. My husband is not a mechanic by any means. He did some research and found someone posted a step-by-step with pictures on how to change one of these out, so the first time he pulled his off the car, he had yet to have a replacement. He thought he could take his part and go down to a local auto repair shop to get another (come to find out, nope, and he had to get it at the dealer for decent coin and they were closed). So, for the heck of it, I wanted to see if I could find it online, and came across this one. So much for only being able to get it via the dealer (got it cheaper, and shipped right to the house in a couple days). Looking at the new one, we could see how the coil in the old one didn’t like to move… that was the problem.
   He changed it out, went to the gas station and gave it the test of pumping gas in for more than 2 to 5 seconds at a time – voila! Saved good money without having a garage do it too!
