Have you tried changing out the spark plugs

@smitty9448 1.6 or 2.0 engine?

Yes i have even changed the coil.

Yes it is a 2.0

Just to verify, cylinder 1 and 4 have spark but not 2 and 3? You replaced the coil for 2&3? Do you have a meter that can test Hertz? you replaced the plug wires as well?

@smitty9448 If the coil is new, teh wires new and you still have no spark I would suggest you check the wire on connector to your coil to see if you get a signal. You will need a tester that can measure hertz. It is the fuel injection computer that triggers the signal to your coil.

The hertz inspection is good but I believe on this engine that the Cam Position Sensor signal will be fluctuating from a strong signal to a weak signal as the camshaft bore is probably worn out due to lack of proper maintenance and oil changes. This will show up on a signal trace via an oscilloscope.
