73 random misfire cylinder 3
91 Evaporative Emission Control System insufficient purge flow

these are the codes i pulled....the 73 i have no idea bout, random misfire? is this something serious that i need to look into?...but the 91...could that be like my gas cap not being on tight enough??caus i remember i didnt have a gas cap for a little bit and that made my light come on a while back.. i dont have my CEL on right now...any help is appreciated

The random misfire could be a bad spark plug, poorly adjusted valves, bad plug wire, etc. Does the CEL illuminate at low or high RPM?

Check that your plug wires are tight. You can also check the spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap and rotor.
