DTC Descriptors:
DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
DTC P0172 Fuel Trim System Rich Bank 1
DTC P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2
DTC P0175 Fuel Trim System Rich Bank 2
These all concern fuel trim, whether it's too rich in exhaust, or too lean in the exhaust. These are frequently misdiagnosed as faulty "O2" sensors but the problem usually is actually somewhere else.

Evap system codes will usually begin: P04XX
You probably had a P0443. A couple different things could be the problem, and unfortunately, they need hands on diagnosis by someone familiar with the system and how it operates.
You don't want to start spraying it with parts till it's diagnosed. That could get expensive quickly!
