Is that one of the cars that use two coils? Could one be out? Have you checked to see if you are getting spark to the plug? ---

Are all of those on one bank? Could you have a plugged catalytic converter? ---

Check the compression. ---

compression is good. 150-160 psi on all cyl. ---

Are you having driveablity issues or are you just getting a check engine light and a code? ---

Have you checked for intake manifold leaks? This sounds like it is all on one side of the engine. There must be something funky happening to that side. The code is for abnormal spark requirements for those cylinders, either an increase or decrease in voltage. If compression is good, maybe the exhaust on that side is partially plugged. A lean mix or lack of proper exhaust flow can cause this.
