car wont start. Doesnt get spark in cylinders 1 & 4. Checked both coils, both are good. Checked for fuel in all 4 cylinders, its good. Replaced and checked power transistor, its good. Since im getting spark to 2 & 3, and fuel to all 4, im guessing my cam angle and crank angle sensor are ok. I tested them with a multimeter per the shop manual and they are fine. Spark plugs are good. Its a 95 gsx so Im assuming the ecu is good, I thought only the 1g ecu's have a tendency to go bad.

I've eliminated about everything I can think of. Why wont the damn thing start/fire in 1&4?
 
Heh, don't "ASSume" your ecu is good because it's a '95.
ECU caps/resistors/circuits can take a shit at anytime.
Not that hard to take out & inspect, worth a shot anyway :)

took it to a shop, found out it had a bad wire from the power transistor to the coil pack of all things. This shop is good, the other shop I talked to wanted to tear the head off because they were "sure" it had bent valves. Now it has a problem with it idling and dying, which they said is most likely fuel pressure related.
