The other day i pulled my spark plugs 2 and 3 where at .010. 2 days before i cleaned an regaped my plugs at .028 all 4 of them. So i fixed the gap and my car still is running of off only 2 piston. I thought that it could have been my coil pack but thats new. I swaped it with my other cars coil pack that works fine not the problem, wires are new and plugs. Could it be that both of my piston are blown. The car doesnt smoke at all no funny sounds just running of 2 piston.
 
I was having the same kind of problem for a little while back even after I put in brand new packs. I ended up getting another set of coil packs and getting new wires and have had no problem since.
 
Pulled the head of and turned out 2 be the gasket blow out between the 2 and 3. The gap was about 1". Turned out to be alot less work & money.
