Car only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?

Hey everyone I have been posting a lot about my car lately and I solved my spark issue when I changed out the engine computer I have a Mitsubishi Eclipse 1996, 2.0 L, DOHC Non Turbo. Well when checking all the spark plug wires that ran to the ignition coil I found out only one of the 4 spark plug wires were actually getting spark from the ignition coil. So I went out and bought a new set of spark plug wires and once I tested these only 2 of the 4 spark plug wires were getting spark from the ignition coil. So now I went out and bought a new ignition coil pack and replaced that and it is still having the same issue. Could someone please let me know how to solve this problem with getting the other 2 to get spark?Car only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?was the new ecu you have replaced a new or second hand unit. other than a fualty ecu if you have replaced the ht leads and the ignition coil its possibly bad wiring if your not great with electrics then its the job for an auto elec. bad wiring can be a pain to find without the correct equipmentCar only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?Buy and install a new distributor capCar only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?need a new distributer cap and rotorCar only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?You have checked the %26quot;wires%26quot; themselves, - and they are all good? New ignition cables are not %26quot;wire%26quot;,they are a thin carbon resistor material, and easily damaged, - and I have seen new ones from box bad! Assuming these are good, then next thing I would check is %26quot;reluctor vanes%26quot; on ignition sensor pickup! These are the Little things that pass in front of pickup as engine turns (in old days the equivalent was the %26quot;lobes%26quot; on distributor that opened the ignition points)! I am not expert on how ignition pulses are delivered on this car, but the principle is about the same on about everything now . there is a pickup somewhere that the pulses to ignition group comes from. If you only have one coil then there is a distribution system, if you have a %26quot;cap%26quot; on a distributor (resembles old time systems), the check cap inside for carbon tracks, -- if you have individual coils then it all comes from the pickup on crank somewhere! My grand daughter has the last one I worked on some Time ago and it still used the 1 coil!Car only getting spark on two out of four Spark Plug Wires can someone help?i,am kinda handicapped when it comes to foreign cars but i,ll take a stab at it. you said it had a coil pack and you put a new coil pack on and still won,t start. what about the module, maybe it,s shorting out. look under the cap, there should be a pick-up there. maybe it,s bad.
