Subaru Legacy, po304, po325 po440, p1441 CEL

I pulled the following codes from my cousins 97 Subaru Legacy

po304      Cylinder #4 engine misfire detected
po325      knock sensor circuit malfunction
po440      Evaporative Emission Control System malfunction
p1441      Fuel tank pressure control system - voltage high

The symptom was lack of power, especially going up hills.

After doing some research we found that po304 and po325 was caused by a bad knock sensor.  When he replaced the knock sensor codes po304 and po325 went away. 

As for po440 and p1441 i would replace the gas cap, first because it is the cheapest and most obvious repair.   If the code returns then i would obviously look  a little deeper and the gas cap can be a common culprit with these codes.  I would hate to replace something expensive when the only problem was a bad gas cap. 
   I will try and give and update later about the last two emisions code
