So I'm getting code 51 (Knock Sensor) and 72 (EGR system) codes on my 1994 ST auto. I just got the car extra cheap as a beater and frankly know little about it. I know it is not stock.

The car runs (but is slow to me, but that's the nature of it I think). The engine runs and idles smoothly. The AC works, etc. These codes come on at random while driving and stay on until cleared (this has happened twice in my 100 miles of owning it). Gas mileage seems to be superb. The engine temp gauge on the dash barely goes above 1/4 of the way up, and it stays where it is after it reaches that position.

So, 6g gurus, what do you suggest. I will attempt to post some engine bay pics early this afternoon. This will soon be my only car and I need it to run well for at least another 50k miles. It has 190k on it, new belts (including timing), new seals (including rear main), and new gaskets.

Seems a bit low... My last mixed driving fill up was 35MPG. I took those pictures, but they're probably of little use due to me not having a OBDI set up.
