What is your question?
I'm trying to get the engine light off on my 2009 Maxima. I couldn't find any videos on the location of the EVAP vcv. Any help here? How easy is it to get it?

Hello, Near the driver rear wheel, looking from the bottom, it is above the suspension components. It will be near or on the fuel tank. It should not be very difficult, depending on your skill set, but you should certainly be testing to find the issue before replacement.
Autozone does not have the proper testing equipment. They have an OBDll code reader,and all they do is print out a list of possibilities per the code(s) and is a starting point. Their job is to sell you parts and offer that free testing to get you to buy parts that you don't need! I have seen many people spend hundreds of dollars there and NOT fix their problem(s).400% mark up on their prices,which most are junk!
Thanks. I already checked the gas cap and even went to AutoZone for a diagnosis. That's what they came up with. Also is removing the rear stabilizer bar clamps necessary? The service doc says to but I was wondering if I really had to to replace?
Go ahead and remove them per the service manual. You will find that most times taking a shortcut will end up taking more time. Be cautious when interpreting trouble codes. Sure, it could be the part that identified the issue reading incorrectly, or the part could be working fine. The job of sensors is not to tell you they went bad, it is to tell you when there is a problem with the emissions control systems. Scanning is only the first step to diagnosis, but maybe you get lucky and that is the problem.
