running on #1 and #3 only (2.0 four)

spraying fuel out tail pipe.

new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, points, condensor

disabled cold start line.

checked MPS for vacume.

thinking it might be trigger points.

actually it is more likely the grounds:
diagonal failure is trigger points
side to side or (#1 and #3)or (#2 and #4) failure is grounds

true very true however I have seen cars that got the injector wires swapped so that 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 are swapped if that is the case trigger points could cause 1 and 3 to both flood for trigger point failure. a ground failure to injector will result in no fuel or lean, not rich and flooded

the head temp sendor is also suspect but I would think that would effect all four pistons not just two of them.

head temp is fairly easy to test with ohm metre be sure to wigggle teh wire a lot when testing to check for intemitent short or open on wire never put ohm meter on harness back to brain only on the senodr pigtail when removed from harness. test both hot and cold cold couple thosand ohms, hot is close to zero ohms
