running on two cylinders after 1.8 swap
i swapped a fresh 1.8 into my '93 miata over the winter. It now runs on two cylinders. new plugs and wires. i bought a new to me set of coils that i was told were good, still only have spark on 1 & 4. only thing i could think of was the extension to my CAS wiring, but i soldered them, and they all looked fine when i went back and checked them.
anyone have any ideas?

i know...
i already bought a used set of coils, i hate to keep throwing money at them. i wish there was someone local with a set i KNEW was good.
would a bad ignitor fire one coil and not the other?

Stuck injector(s)? When I was de-turbo'ing my 1.8 I put my old tan top injectors back in that I had cleaned over a year ago. Two of them were stuck which I fixed by lightly tapping on them with a mallet. A 9V battery is a good way to test the injector out of the car. You should hear a click. Two of mine didn't click till I whacked them a few times.

i know that i'm not getting any spark on two or three. i checked all four injectors and heard them clicking away while the car was running.
