Is the check engine light coming on at all? If so, and it should be, have the codes read and see where that points you.

The other code is an issue in the Crank Sensor circuit. Both codes need to be troubleshooted.

Nobody advised you to change the crank sensor. I said it had to be troubleshooted. You have to find the problem, not just throw parts at it. This isn't something that can be determined online.

This system uses 2 coils and 2 ignitors so I would suspect that one or the other is bad for those cylinders. It would require some testing to determine which.

What you should try is having the problem diagnosed properly with the right equipment. You can simply throw parts at it if you choose but that can be a lot more expensive. We don't do things that way.
