i bought my 96 hardbody with 160k miles. 5 speed. it has a check engine light on so i brought it to my buddy at his toyota dealership to run the obd2 tester thing. we got codes 440 442 and 446. he dont know about nissans so he cant really help me... we think maybe its somethin to do with the emmissions BS. maybe the gas cap lol

anyone know whats bad on my truck? id like to make this light go away for good. thanks!!

Those are all evap system codes. I would check your vent control valve, the evap canister and all evap vaccum lines for cracks or breaks.

Don't forget also check your gas cap make sure it is installed correctly and the seal is not damaged.

The evap canister is under the bed on D21U's.The vent control valve is mounted to it.
