Maybe test continuity on injectors 2 and 5 using an ohmmeter, see if there is infinite resistance (open) or not.

I had the same thing happen to my XJ, but its OBD1 so I didn't get it for specific cylinders. Check the connections on your injectors, and if the connectors are corroded at all clean them up and put di-electric grease on them to prevent them corroding again.

Sounds like you hate a bad connection on two of them.

Its amazing what big problems a little corrosion on fuel injector connectors will cause. I had the same thing happen with my Jeep...cleaned the connections and the problem went away. Dielectric grease ftw
