I already changed the spark plugs and ignition coils. I checked the fuel injectors and nothing was working.

Hi,

What do you mean nothing was working? Is there an issue with the fuel injectors or coils?

The idea of two cylinders side by side having a misfire could indicate an issue with the head gasket. Let me know what you meant by nothing was working. Also, if you haven't already, you may want to check engine compression on all cylinders but focus on four and five.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Let me know. Also, if there are other codes, let me know what they are.

Take care,

Joe
