   Does it do it mainly when cold? 1st thing change the coolant temperature sensor 2nd clean the icv out with carb cleaner.

   head gasket gone between number 1 and 2 cylinder, if 2 adjacent cylinders are down its suspect. get a compression test done.

    sounds odd to me, the diagnostic reads the ecu, but it should be able to indentify wether its ignition or fuel related. I dont have much experience of this sort of thing so maybe I am expecting too much sense [from the machine not you]
