    Knocking from front of engine bay

    I got a 97 tj sport manual with a freshly rebuilt head. A knocking noise has made itself apparent starting a couple months ago but has gone from partial noise to constant knocking. It’s residual as long as it’s running, it gets faster when I accelerate. I think the noise is closest to the front...

    Codes: 0171, 0174, 0456, 0457

    I've got these 4 codes on my 05 4.0 that have been up for a little while now. I have only tried replacing the gas cap which didn't solve the issue. I'm guessing these 4 codes are all in relation to one another. Do they ring a bell for anyone? I was planning on going to the mechanic and getting...
