Engine Mechanical problem
1990 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 200130 miles

ok i reset the timingtbelt to everything is in line,i got good sparkplugs,good spark jumps ahalf inch to a inch, my compression is on point on all cylinders! i got fuel going into the intake,it runs but it shaky!ive pulled the plugs,stuck a srewdriver and watched it spark blue/ white.. im thinking it would be the fuel injector but im wondering if the injector wasnt the cause, what could it be? can you help me go to next step why it would do that? why 2 cylinders wouldnt run.

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
