Default Water Pump replaced!!

Hello again everyone
I finally changed the water pump on my '89 auto coupe. I noticed a few weeks ago that the pulley was loose...I took it apart and there it was...the h2o pump spindle was shaking in every direction. The problem now is my "service engine soon" light won't go off. Anyway suggestions? thankx.

Do you know what code the check engine light is trying to tell you?
Do you know how to pull trouble codes?

I would guess a sensor is unplugged still?

Check the connection on the MAF sensor. Its the one on the duct that goes from the intake to the air filter.

Thanks a lot for that suggestion...I checked it and that's exactly what the problem was. I plugged the MAF sensor back in and the "service engine soon" light was gone@!!!!!!!!!! Thankx again.
