Default bad idle/misfires

I got a rough idle and codes P0300, P0301, P0302, P0455, and P1491. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to fix it. my head casting # is 0331 but never had any problems. already done a combustion test and cylinder 2 had 59psi. already replaced spark plugs and coil pack. any advice is appreciated 🙏

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? My 1992 Jeep Cherokee had a rough idle than it got to the point where my jeep began to stall when driving. It was my intake manifold gasket. Maybe check for vacuum leaks. Just a thought.

If you mean you checked the compression and cylinder 2 was 59 psi " there you go"
what were the other cylinders?
