Hi there, these codes refer to the evap system (minor leak) and a fuel temp sensor. If the codes re set, have the evap system check this may be a minor vacuum leak, and the second problem will need to tracked down by an auto electrician.

This evap, where is the position on the car?
The fuel temp. Sensor, where is the position as well? I may be able to check if the fault is electrical because I am an electrical engineer. It could be lost of continuity on the cable

Hi there,

you will not pass the smog test if you are required to have one annually, you may have a few issues with fuel economy as well.
