If the evap code comes back try replacing the gas cap before anything. The igniter air bag code is common. The two pin connector is not making connection with the airbag. You need to unplug the connector clean the two male pins and spray some contact solution or WD-40 on the two pins then replug in and clear. The code should go away permanently.
