I know the p0443 is something to do with emmissions, but what about the other two, I do get a little weird idle and misfire when im at the red light but it goes away and has plenty of power as soon as I give it gas?? The idle will fluctuate from 700 to 800 to 900 back to 800 rpm.... etc

P0443 Evap Purge Solenoid Circ

P1294 Target Idle Not Reached

P1495 Leak Detection Pump Solenoid Circ

You have a vacuum leak in the vapor recovery system. Check ALL the lines running from the cannister, which on yours, should be on the passenger side, up under the bed, mounted right to the frame, to wherever they go. Also check and see if you cannister has puked its carbon into the lines.

No pics, but, download the 01 service manual from the faq section here. It has some pretty good diagrams and such.

Yep, they are all related.
