It sounds like you may have a fuel injector going out. Once we run the codes it should tell us which cylinder is having an issue so we can go from there, the fact it does not have the problem continuously is posting to something electronic which is good. Here is how to test a fuel injector and i have included instructions on how to swap out the injectors as well in the images below.

Hi Ken, thanks for the reply. Testing the injectors has been on my mind but i have been lazy to do that so I'm going to have that checked out. I used a Carly car scanner and got the code below.

Let's remove the #2 and #4 spark plug to see what they look like. Also, let's do a compression test. This guide will help:

Do you notice the coolant level going down slowly? You may have a blown head gasket. If the spark plugs are very light colored, I would say the fuel injector can be causing this.

anything?
