check engine light diagnosed 1st and 2nd cylinder misfire. spark plugs and wires are new and good, injector new and firing, timing belt checked and is set good. Car seems to want to shut down after decelerating or in park. What could this problem be and how do I fix it?

Engine seems to want to shut down when not in motion.

Is compression good in those two cylinders? Is fuel pressure within spec?
