Hey guys just ran the code reader on my 96s14 ka and i got the following codes PO505 Idle Control System, PO325 Knock Sensor 1 circuit malfunction, PO446 Evap Emission control system vent circuit malfunction and P1441 Manufacture controlled Auxiliary emission controls? I tried searching but no clue on these? Can you guys help figure out how to fix these?
 
search harder, google is your friend.

p0505=

sounds like an iac to me. try warming the car up, unplug the tps and adjust the idle screw, then pleg the tps back in. If that doesnt work, cleaning or replacing the iac might be in order. Also, check for broken vacuum lines to and from the iac.




The p0325= What does that mean?

A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. The knock sensor generally threads into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly.
Symptoms

You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes

A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

* The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
* There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit

Possible Solutions

* Check the resistance of the knock sensor (compare it to factory specs)
* Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor
* Replace the knock sensor




p0446= (i think you have an issue with either the purge solenoid or the carbon canister):bigthumbu

What does that mean?

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.
Symptoms

You likely won't notice any drivability problems.
Causes

A code P0440 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

* The gas cap is not installed or working properly
* The purge solenoid has failed
* The canister is plugged and not working properly

Possible Solutions

With a P0440 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

* Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the code, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
* Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses
* Inspect for damaged or disconnected hoses around the Evap purge solenoid
* Check and/or replace the sensor
* Check and/or replace the purge valve
* Have a professional use a smoke machine to detect leaks



p1441=

Vacuum Cut Valve Bypass Valve (not to much info on this code, BUT it IS a nissan specific code so...)

this all may be a little over your head, if you need any more info, or someone to do the repairs, just pm me.:bigthumbu
