My SES light is on in my 97 200sx 1.6. I took it to advance auto and they scanned the codes for me. It came up p0446.
I did some searching here and found that there is some valve back there. I tried taking the 2 bolts off, and 1 snapped off. The other didnt budge. So now I figure I gotta spring for a whole new canister...right? I have a feeling a dealer visit is gonna cost me an arm and leg, so im trying to fix it on my own. Im new to all this stuff, so I have a few questions.
How much is involved in swapping out a new canister? My undercarraige is pretty rusty, and dirty. It seems that there are 2 smaller hoses connected to the canister, along with that valve. Anything else Im missing? I think I also see 3 bolts to remove it, hopefully they aret rusted also.
Does a new canister come with a new valve all ready installed? Anyone got a part number for a 97 200sx 1.6l?
Where is a good place to buy a canister? Dealer? Online?
