    P0401 is a misfire in cylinder number one a mis fire can be caused by a loss of fuel, loss of spark or a mechanical problem. If the spark plug and ignition is good and the cylinder has fuel/injector is good, make sure you have no intake manifold leak and check that compression is even in all cylinders perhaps adjust the valve clearances.
