I bought one of those CodeKeys today for my check engine light...

Bought it at Costco for $35.00. You plug into the computer connector under the dashboard and it will give you all the codes for your check engine light being on. I bought my 99 C2 last year and it has always had a little tough time starting but it always will after 1-3 trys. It runs great other than that and very smooth. So here are my codes. If any mechanics can help let me know.

1. Misfire Cylinders Emission Related
2. Misfire Cylinder 4, 3, 2, 6, Emission Related
3. 02 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
4. 02 Sensor Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1

I have a pretty good idea here but is this anything bad?

How many miles? I would change spark plugs, and check for cracked ignition coils.

I believe it was at 62k. My P-Car guy noticed it and tighten them down. I have never had a problem since... or until every thing went nuts yesterday afternoon

You can pretty much count on the two rear ignition coils cracking, causing misfires. Looks like your O2 sensors are going as well.

Those symptoms are much different. I'd start with looking at a bad ground in the charging system.
