PO505 - IAC (Idle Air Control) System Malfunction
PO313 - Misfire - Low Fuel Level
PO330 - Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction

I would check for wiring harness damage, The first and third codes are saying that the computer cannot control the IAC and does not see the knock sensor. Wiring damage could cause both as well as the intermittent tachometer signal.
The misfire could be caused by a bad control wire to the injector.
If you do not see wiring damage then check for a vacuum leak.
