It means you are using a universal scanner. Google is your friend.

1237 is related to an Cylinder one injector. Is it plugged in correctly? Working?

1300 is a low fuel misfire. Run out of gas recently?

I don't see how either could be related to a valve cover gasket.

C'mon, dude, do a little bit of homework. Does anyone look in the tech section?

Cylinder one is at the front. Assuming your previous post is directed to me (it is threaded back to one of your posts), I should clarify: swap injector one and two *with each other* and try again. If the misfire moves, the injector (was one, now two) is bad and needs to be replaced. If it doesn't move and you get the one code again, the injector is not the problem.

Does that make more sense?
