Sounds like a spark plug or wire issue. Anytime the vehicle starts to skip, die, or (run rough) its usually these minor things. However if that does not help, start looking into your fuel system. Always try cheapest first. Plugs and Wires....Good luck...

SOURCE: Rough running and rough idle

Doesnt sound at all like an electrical control issue... more like a tune up...
How many miles? If its hard to start its typically due to spark plugs being worn down with age.. that engine has individual coils per cylinder so there are no "cap, rotor or wires" involved... just replace the plugs, they are platinum and they are about 8-9$$ each x8... but that is what you need

Vacuum leaks. Check all hoses and intake bolts. Leaking EGR or plugged PCV valve. Air filter plugged. Leaking head gasket. Worn timing chain. Camshaft lobes worn. Valves burned or leaking. Fuel idle control system or sensor. Good luck!

There could be many issues. These codes read your engine is running too lean. Check : all your vacuum hoses for leaks, PCV valve and hose, MAF sensor. This may require an experienced technician to figure this out. Hopefully I help'd!!
