SOURCE: 2004 Nissan Xterra 75,000 miles
I had the same problem recently, but gave me 2 codes knock sensor (which will not activate the service light as i found around)
and gave me the air flow mass sensor. took it out clean it,
change the air filter,with a good one, vacum the inside of the filter holder and light went of about 2 days later.
SOURCE: nissan xterra knock sensor
It's the valley of the engine underneath the intake manifold. It's about an $800 job because the top of the engine has to come off. However, unless you have a supercharged xterra it shouldn't effect performance. Also, the knock sensor will not trip the check engine light, as it does not indicate a primary problem, so if your light is on you should have another code that should be fixed first.
SOURCE: fuel leak from evap canister
if you continually overfill the gas tank by trying to top off after the pump clicks off you will get raw fuel into the canister. if that is the case you will need to replace the evap canister and filter.
SOURCE: where is the knock sensor for the 04 nissan xterra
Your knock sensor is located undernesth the air intake manifold on top of the engine block. This goes for 2000-2004 xterra V6 3.3L models.
SOURCE: saturn code p0442, evap system small leak, can't find leak
I would send the car in for a smoke test...So much easier to find the leak...
Testimonial: "found another definitation for a code 422. replaced rear o2,fixed"
?€¢
An EVAP canister, vent hose, or vent solenoid valve that has restricted flow may cause this DTC to set. Using a purge solenoid command with a scan tool will allow vacuum to be applied to the system instead of pressure. With the engine running, the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve open, and the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve commanded to 100 percent, the fuel tank vacuum should not increase to more than 5 inches H2O.

An EVAP canister filter that is restricted can cause this DTC to set. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Replacement .
?€¢
Disconnecting one component at a time while the EVAP system is under flow will help to pinpoint a restriction in the system
Do you have a scan tool that reads data PID'S ?
Your FTP - fuel tank pressure sensor could be at fault !

EVAP Vent Control Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
Possible Causes:
Vent solenoid circuit open, shorted to ground or to power (B+).Vent control solenoid is damaged or has failed..PCM has failed.TSB 00-060 (7/00) contains information related to this code.Trouble Code: P0455
EVAP System Gross Leak (0.080") Detected
Possible Causes:
.EVAP control system pressure sensor is damaged or has failed.EVAP purge solenoid or canister vacuum line loose or off.EVAP purge solenoid is damaged or has failed.EVAP emission canister is dirty, restricted or full of water.EVAP canister vent control valve is damaged or has failed.Fuel tank cap loose, missing or it is the wrong part number.Fuel tank temperature sensor is damaged or has failed.Fuel tank vacuum relief valve is damaged or has failed.Large leak in the EVAP canister or in the fuel tank area.ORVR system is damaged or has a large leak in a component.Refueling control valve is damaged or has failed.Vacuum hose leaking between intake manifold and Purge valve.Here are the codes,take part back and get refund.
This DTC checks for undesired intake vacuum flow to the EVAP system. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OFF and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve ON. 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 code is set and the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) is illuminated.
Symptoms of a P0496 DTC will include MIL illumination, and most likely no other noticeable symptoms. Some may experience a hard start / crank condition. In some cases the engine may run rich which may not detected, but can cause damage long-term (think: catalytic converter damage).
Potential causes of a P0496 EVAP code include:
The most common fix for this DTC is to replace the purge solenoid valve. However, be sure to do a proper diagnosis before replacing parts!
Ideally you would use an advanced scan tool, with the ignition on and engine off, you seal the EVAP system using the Seal/Purge function. Then, watch the fuel tank pressure sensor reading when you turn the purge off. If the pressure value is higher than the normal range set by the manufacturer, replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve. Refer to a model-specific repair guide for the proper specification.
If you don't have access to the scan tool, you could always disconnect the vacuum line at the purge valve going back to the charcoal canister. Unplug the electrical connector on the purge valve, start the engine, then put your finger on the valve where you disconnected the line. If you can feel vacuum there, the purge solenoid valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. Alternately, you could simply remove the purge solenoid valve and blow into it. It is normally closed, so if air goes through then you need to replace it.
If the purge valve checks out good, either the problem with the valve is intermittent or there is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor. To test the fuel tank pressure sensor you will need to have a high end scan tool to monitor the tank pressure with the gas cap removed. If the sensor shows vacuum with the gas cap removed, there is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor.
Here is a picture of one purge solenoid valve. Yours may look similar or different, consult a factory service guide or your local vehicle dealership for more details.
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid
Description & Operation
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP) regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it reaches a specified temperature and the time delay ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles (energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10 times per second, depending upon operating conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operating condition.
Removal & Installation
The duty cycle evaporative (EVAP) canister purge solenoid is located in the engine compartment near the brake master cylinder.
