Question edited for clarity and change 'want start' to 'won't start'.
Question moved to model category.

Does it have the original battery, and does the battery have at least 12.3 volts?

These two codes indicate failures of the primary ignition circuit on cylinders 2 and 4. These two cylinders are the two leftmost cylinders on the front bank. These failures are primary ignition failure codes, meaning the failure is between the battery and the coil, not the coils themselves. Could be an open or short in the wiring. Use a 12-volt non-powered test lamp to verify START/RUN voltage at the ignition coil harness connector. Check the coil driver circuit for open, short to voltage, or short to ground.

1 and 4 show to be on separate coils. Check to make sure the plug wires near the 1 and 4 wires are not touching as this can cause cross firing among cylinders.

The PCM doesn't supply power to the coil's ,it supply's a ground . A fuse supply's B+ power to the coil's . Your vehicle has what is called coil on plug ignition system , a coil for each cylinder . Should have plug wires ,has a spark plug boot . IT is common for these coil on plug system's to fry the driver (transistor) inside the PCM ,if the spark plug gap becomes so worn that the spark can not jump said gap. It shorts inside the coil sending high voltage to the PCM driver . There are video's on youtube showing how to test a PCM driver circuit . Your coil has two wires , one should have B+ voltage an the other goes to the PCM . If your coil fried i look for a short to ground on the control side circuit . This video is for a ford 5.4 l V-8 coil on plug system ,same thing just 2 more coils .

The PCM does not power the coils, it only controls the ground circuit.

Trailer Tow reversing relay ( non serviceable ) and the Trailer tow parking lamp relay are both fed from Fuse #10 ( coil on reversing relay is fed from reverse lamps & coil on parking lamp relay is fed from the parking lamps ).

Trailer Tow battery charge relay is fed from Fuse #106 ( coil is fed by fuse #13, hot in start / run position from key ).

Right Stop / Turn is fed from Fuse #36 ( powered from MFS circuit for truck stop/turn )
Left Stop / Turn is fed from Fuse #42 ( powered from MFS circuit for truck stop/turn )

check fuse for immobiliser.or replace the reader coil around the ignition.if it cannot read the code off the key it wont start.if the key was not coded the pats light would flash continously.replace reader coil.best of luck.
