Default CEL - Pulled a P1476, Where do I start?

CEL came on on the way to the freeway yesterday. I went to the ever-faithful Advanced Auto (its a joke, I promise) to get my codes pulled and ended up with a:

P1476 EVAP Emission Control LDP Circ. Malfunction / Insufficient Vacuum

That's all that came up. I searched the forums and it looks like usually when people get this its accompanied by a few others.

Where should I start? Should I clear the code and see if it comes back?

If I'm not mistaken is this what is thrown when the gas cap isn't on tight? (checked that BTW)

Thanks in advance-
Gregg

PS: 99.5 2.8Q Manual just about to turn 90k

Default here

clearing codes does not fix problems assuming it is not a gas cap thing... if it comes back take it to a shop or use the link below.<ul><li><a href="http://search.audiworld.com/search.html">click</a></li></ul>

I'd say search is less than helpful for that code.

Default Well... you're right... I checked my manual too, but there's nothing in there other than the codes..

I think you might have a leak somewhere... a smoke test might be in order....
