Default Idel Problems

Friends 1998 JRSC GSR @6psi

72 and 74 code (miss fire in #2 and #4 cylinder)

I took a look at the plugs and they are nice and white (that means running lean correct?)

I told him to replace the plugs asap and see how that does. His problem is that when ideling it bounces from 1k to 2k back and fourth. Also his check engine light blinks while the car is running...

Any other thing that might cause this bad idel?

Thanks

The CEL blinking while the engine is running indicates a "catalyst damaging misfire" is in progress.

I usually start by checking the basics. Compression, fuel and spark.
