2000 Mustang 6-cylinder with about 69k miles. Code reader shows both P0301 and P0302. Since the problem started quite suddenly, is it more likely to be a vacuum hose leak than a sparkplug or coil problem on two cylinders at the same time? Is there a way to find such a leak? Thanks.

One way to find a vaccuum leak is to take a bottle of brake cleaner and spray around the vaccuum hoses. If there is a leak in one of the hoses, it will suck some brake clean in and the engine will rev up. Hope this helps.
