    Mazda B2300 ignition problem

    I have Mazda 2300 series SE, 2001 with 86,000  miles. Just recently I got an ignition problem. CHECK ENGINE light is on and the OBD test showed code for misfiring and the ignition coil problem. I replaced  the ignition  coil, HV cables  and  spark plugs. I noticed  that  spark  plug  # 1  and  #  4  do not ignite. I checked the ignition coil and there was no spark on # 1 and # 4. The OBD tester was still showing an ignition problem. I went to another shop and their OBD tester (more advanced) showed also a faulty camshaft position sensor. I replaced it and the problem is still the same. Only cylinders #2 and #3 are firing. I checked with an oscilloscope signals from PCM (pins 26 and 52) to the ignition coil. I have pulses, the problem is that I  don't know if they are correct. I suspect that there is another sensor that is faulty but I  is don't know which one and how to check it. The entire engine is made by Ford. Advice me please. Thank you.

    Check your crank shaft sensor.  I'm not familiar with anything over late 80's so I'm not the best of help I know.  Try checking the plug wires as well.  I know, it's weird that 2 would go at the same time, but try it.

    It's not broke... It's just.... Ok it's broke but I can fix it! Where's my duck tape?
