Could be the camshaft or the crankshaft position sensor its inputs to the computer is not be receiving on the cylinders involved in order for the computer to fire the coils.

The camshaft sensors lines up the firing order for injections purposes and the crankshaft position indicates the position of the cyilinders and engine speed.
