Default Keep getting cel light

It's ap1 and has only about 51000 miles.. I keep getting misfire on 1&2. First time when I got it I changed coils numbers order to 4 3 2 1.. And deleted the codes.. In a few weeks I got the same misfire on 1&2 so it wasn't coils.. So I bought brand new spark plug and installed em and delete the codes.. A fewdays later I got the misfires again.. What can I do now?
Car runs well.. Please help me

Try setting the clearances on your valves, or do a search for more info

This may sound ridiculous, but I was getting CELs for misfires on 1&3, and Random/Mult misfire. They seemed to randomly come and go and I never really noticed any difference while I was driving. I finally got annoyed enough to try and fix it when I read the sticker by my gas cap. It said to tighten to 3-4 clicks or it may cause a CEL. Ever since then I am sure to tighten the gas cap at least 4 clicks. No joke, I haven't got a CEL since (but my pride took a shot lol) Good luck!

My misfire issue turned out to be injectors, but a friends was bent valves. Try doing a comp test first and post the #'s.

gas cap seal migt have a TINY crack in it. mine did and the pressure loss in the tank caused a CEL. I have also heard of and known of a couple of people that had mechanically over revved engines that they had bent valves. A leakdown test revealed the issues as well as an attempt to adjust the valves finding cracked spring retainers
