Chevrolet Equinox 2017  192000 miles
Several different codes are popping up like service stabilitrak, power steering, parking assist so , had it put on a computer and it says several different things are wrong even loss communication to the ECM but sometimes it starts and runs fine and other times won’t do anything? Put a new battery in the starter and alternator check fine! Could it be the ECM

P0304 means you have a misfire in bank 4, as far as the motor shaking that could be many different things and wouldn't hurt to bring it in to get checked out

You can replace individual fuel injectors to to see if that is the problem...otherwise, a trip to the dealer is warranted, especially with a new motor.

P0f37 code , check engine light on

Chevrolet Equinox 2023 4 cyl LT 65000 miles
The check engine light is on , at first it would come on and go off right around when I would get gas , I didn’t pay attention to mileage, now it’s on more consistently however when I filled it recently it would go off , at around 3/4 tank full then come back on around 1/4 tank. When I search it, the code it’s not in the OBD and it gives a generic for multiple things , I skimmed the options of what could be and came up with maybe a bad vapor fuel sensor thing, something with the canister or something with the evap …. . . However multiple mechanics couldn’t give me a clear answer …. I have no idea what to do as far as fixing the problem I don’t want to spend thousands ….
