I got "check engine" light coming on now. I did the on/off test and the error code came up as "P 1494". Anyone know what this is? Thanks.

Ok, I found the Leak Detection Pump and it wasn't located as what the website said where it should be. I found it behind the driver's side headlight. Apparently, a vacuum hose from the manifold to the LDP was disconnected and I put it back in. The engine light still comes on and I checked for code again, it sill says 1494. Do I need to reset this computer diagnostic thingy? If resetting is possible, How do I do it. Thanks.

Yes, I believe you do need to reset your computer diagnostic "thing", I think you can just turn off the car and unhook the battery for a bit and rehook it up, but Im not sure if thats the best/safest way to do it.

Weirdest thing, the check engine light doesn't light up anymore and no more code. I guess it goes off after 50 starts.
