Thankfully, a large Evap system leak can be the cause of the cylinder misfires, so tracing the Evap leak may fix all but P1491 and that don't sound like a tough one.

I have a diagram of the entire Evap system in the FAQ section may help you...

You can also spray a carb cleaner or suck around the hoses with the engine running to find you leaks. When it gets sucked in (if it does) the idle speed will change.

I use an unlit propane torch. Doesn't make a mess like carb cleaner does

Could the misfire mean time for new head gasket?
Also did not find one for evap. system one. Am I blind?
