Running on 1&2, 3&4 not. Have checked injectors and replaced one that was not completly closing(#4),all injectors spraying.Checked spark (#3) weak plug had 125000 ohms resistance,replaced all.Coils between 5000 & 6000 ohms (1-4)(2-3),no short to cover.Multi spark not as bright as I think maybe it should be but all equal.No unusual noise,power steering pump turning,exhaust manifold 1&2 heats up,3&4 doesn't (first clue) plugs 3&4 very little soot,cylinder end of plug housing/ground staying silver, little discolorization on electrode(2nd Clue).It doesn't seem to shake quite as bad but still scratching my head.Whats next?

Ignition coil housing and boots are real common on this one.

Just installed new coils and housing,no luck. Going to start over and recheck everything. More ideas? Is this the proper place to reply to suggestions?

Maybe check compression in the bad cylinders. Did you replace the boots for the plugs?
