but the wierd thing is that my pathfinder doesnt run bad at all, and doesnt idle wierd like most symtoms. any i dea what it could be, or better yet how to fix it?

Your EVAP canister is in the left corner of your rear bumper. There should be hoses and I believe a set or two of wires. Follow Them.

Sorry I can't be of anymore help. I've never had this problem myself.

I just got rid of a check engine light.had to do with emmisions and somebody at work suggested a new gas cap. $8 chance at getting rid of it. I got one and it stayed on for two days and now its fixed. I dont remember the code but it might be worth it to try it.
