Hood looks great, Tony! It is subtle but not too subtle...just right.

So, I finally got around to replacing the Leak Detection Pump, and the gas cap (albeit a used part), hoping to get rid of that P2404 code (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Range/Performance). And it did!
A few miles down the road, and I pop a P2405 code (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Low)
Not sure what else to look for. Google din't produce a lot of help on this one.
Hmmm... seems like the EVAP pump causes it, but since you replaced that, it should not. I would check all cables/connections/fuses for the evap pump.
Maybe swap over the charcoal canister and purge solenoid from the black NB?
Evap pump is just a "check" pump; pressurises the evap system to detect any leaks. 2404 meant that there was some leak somewhere. The fact that you get 2405 now means that the pump itself has an issue with the power supplied to it. It is really weird to me.
Checked my OBDLink yesterday night, once I noticed the CEL was gone. The code was stored in the system, but the PCU was reading the light as off. Cleared the code with the OBDLink and it has not come back on.Waited for the car to be ready for inspection, and knocked that out. *looks for wood to knock on*

OK, it's about to be Super Maintenance Time. I think I'm going to hold off on vehicle changing for another year or so. The timing belt is past-due (currently 115K), The clutch is sounding horrible. Since I'm doing TB AND Clutch, I might as well do anything that's easiest to do with the motor out.
My buy-list so far
Rear-left caliper
rear pads
rear rotors
brake fluid
Timing belt
idler/tension pulley
valve cover gasket
accessory belts
water pump
thermostat/filter
front main seal
clutch
pressure plate
flywheel (?)
flywheel bolts
clutch line
trans fluid
master cylinder
slave cylinder
rear main seal
transmission seals
Anything else that I might as well do?

Cam seals and fuel filter?

Engine mounts
check any place you may have some leaks and fix them
clean up the block and cylinder head
paint them to freshen up the engine bay

Replace radiator, auxiliary and heater hoses to either OEM rubber or high grade silicone hoses (e.g samco)
Braided brake and clutch lines

Great suggestions, gang. I'm always afraid that I'll forget that one thing that's a total bitch to replace otherwise
I would probably degrease the engine while it is still in the car and running so I could identify any leaks before you pull it. If you pull the engine and let's say you find an oil pan leak, you can pull the pan and reseal it. Kind of have to know where to stop at that point because you could pretty easily replace the oil pump in that instance.
If no other leaks are found, I would take time to degrease the engine and transmission more thoroughly outside of the car. It's also a great time to clean the engine bay and subframe, paint and lifted paint in there from brake fluid spills, if any.

+1 on those engine mounts. 100k+ is around when the stockers are toast.
+1 on degreasing everything. Besides making everything look prettier, it makes finding any future leaks easier/quicker to spot.

Last time we had our cars together neither had a passenger seat. And you were thinking of selling.
Everything the above have said. And the vacuum lines.
You have a Beer meet happening soon?
