a p1494 code what exactly is and where is the part located on a 03 jeep grand cherokee laredo
Here is the flow chart starting point for this code; it may just be a vacuum line to the LDP, or other possible causes, listed; the LDP itself, is not cheap, so a complete diag. should be preformed , before throwing parts at it. I will also include a pic of the location, at the end, so you can at least check for vacuum.
