    p0301
    p0302
    p0171

    Considering it has 2 misfires, I'd start with plugs. When was the last tune up? How many miles?

    p0401 and 1309 should be the camshaft position sensor, might be out of sync or faulty. Also possible, is the crankshaft position sensor
    p0301 and 0302 are misfires on cylinder 1 and 2

    you probably did it already, but make sure the wire is on the plug first, i had a misfire once and the wire was just loose
