If you have spark at only two of the four plugs, then you likely have two bad plug wires or a bad distributor cap or rotor.

Spark wires may be in the wrong order, or fuel injectors not all hooked up. Listen with a stethoscope or a piece of hose held up to your ear. You should hear the same type of clicking from each injector when it's running.

^^I go with checking to see if have a spark for the cylinder 1 and 4. If you do, check if your injectors are working.
