SOURCE: dtc po328 and po442

The P0328 is a knock sensor code. Most likely cause is the knock sensor itself. But it is possible that the wiring harness has a short in it. Replace knock sensor.

The P0442 is an EVAP small leak code. This one can be more tricky as there are a ton of things that can cuase this code. First thing to try is hte gas cap. Even though it is a small leak code and not a gross leak code, the cap can still be the cause of the fault. Also a Nissan fuel cap is all that should be used. No Stant or other aftermarket caps. Thay can give you trouble. If the problem is still present and you are sure the cap is properly sealing. You really need to go to a shop that can "Smoke" the system to find the source of the leak. This is not something all shops can do and the at home shade tree mechanic can't either unless they have the very expensive smoke machine. Basically you are trying to find a source of the slightest little leak in the EVAP system that is locates somewhere between the rear bumper and the front bumper. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Having a smoke machine is like looking for that needle but having an cartoon ACME strength industrial electro-magnet to assist you in finding that needle.

SOURCE: My Nissan yesterday started idling terribly and when I was driving it was shaking and vibrating so bad it felt like I was driving with square tires.

I doubt the EVAP problem is causing the rough running. The knock sensor code means the knock sensor noted a severe vibration. The cylinder 4 code could mean the miss has become bad enough to trigger a code for one cylinder.
I would look at the injectors and for a vac leak. And the spark plugs can be firing in air but not inside the cylinders under pressure.

Hi have code po496,I just replaced fuel filter and part of the gas line and had to replace part of the line right below that because I had a code po442.What would cause this new code?thank you

DTC P0496
This DTC tests for undesired intake manifold vacuum flow to the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP canister purge valve Closed and the EVAP canister vent valve Closed. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system. If vacuum in the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.
EVAP purge solenoid. maybe.

What is the code po442 and po445 mean on the car

P0442 code means that the control module has detected a small leak in the Evaporative Emission (EVAP). The loose fuel tank filler cap is the most common cause that triggers the P0442 code.

Code P0445 indicates that there is improper purge flow in the EVAP system caused by a shorted purge valve.

Make sure Fuel tank cap is tightened well, then have it tested at Autozone, etc... If ok, then go back to inspection station.
