My 2.0 runs on 2 cylinders (1 and 3 only), Help a brother out! Options

[Gint]

Dammit! It runs great on 2 cylinders!!! Except for the occasional backfire. 1 and 3 fire, 2 and 4 do not.

I dunno. I pulled all of the injectors and fuel lines in the engine bay. They're all clear. I have 29 pounds of fuel pressure. I tested all of the injectors while cranking the engine over. All squirt fuel in a nice conical pattern and the volume appears to be the same. I have spark on all cylinders. But only 1 and 3 fire. If I pull the injector connector or the plug wire off of cylinders 2 or 4, nothing changes. They are both not doing anything. If I pull either the injector connector or the plug wire from cylinders 1 or 3, the engine dies; apparently it can't run on just one cylinder, go figure.

I'm wide open to suggestions. I need a 914 fix before the weather turns to crap.

Update!
If you read all of this thread, you'll see that bondo spotted my error. I swapped wires on the dizzy for cylinders 2 and 4 and she fired right up on all four cylinders.

i have 2

1: the distributor that came with my car. no side-to-side wobble, small up-down movement. I rebuilt it myself, thinking my problems were in the dizzy, when it ended up being my FI system. I'll let it go real cheap.

2:this one is a rebuilt bosch dizzy from napa. I know the owners at NAPA, so they take care of me. same as the other one, no side movement in shaft, very little movement in Y-direction. Pretty much they are same...which surprised me. this one will go for a bit more. I ended up buying two dizzy's online. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
