Hello jess..
First check all your vacuum lines (most of the "emission system" works with vacuum)

That valve its not working or its stuck probably its just the vacuum that its "cut"
That valve "controls" the flow of the purge for the canister
check your under hood schematic to identified.

Let us know..

I've had this problem on my 98 Frontier. I had to replace the valve because it just corroded away. I live on an island so the salt water does its damage. The only thing you need to be careful of is snapping the two bolts when trying to remove them because they were pretty crusty also.

Do to the moisture I also had to replace the the Fuel tank pump assembly because one of the nossles started rotting and then leaking under pressure.
