I would say it's either a coil pack gone faulty or you're not getting the switched earth from the ECU to one side of the coil pack.

If you have a spark present, is there fuel getting to the cylinders?

Hmm........... Weird. I would have thought if it's a lambda issue it would be doing it on 2&3 as well.

Yeah thats what mine was doing
2 new amps fitted and its spot on now
From Stu's email:
Hi Rich, The only items that are cylinder specific are the amplifiers, sub loom and ECU. Best Regards, Stewart Sanderson I'd swapped ECU and fully line checked the loom, so amps were only other possibility
