I would suggest starting with,
4 new plugs
New set of wires (Which you already have)
New Rotor
And new distributor cap

well i dont have a distributor,so i know it's not that,just have a ignition coil and i just looked at it and out of 8 spark plugs only 2 wires aint giving spark,so i assume its not the coil because if it was it wouldnt be giving spark to all 4 wires that are pluged into it.so im gonna go for a tune up and see what happens from there..if not then ill let you guys know and you's can help me.thankx dude

Is dead spark out of same coil pak? And yes can go partially bad. Have you run codes to see? From what I read fairly common to go bad. Does tach act up? Have read that is sign of one going bad. Hope this helps.

well what motor do you have? the 2.3 that you asked about is an ohv 4 cylinder and the two coil packs with 4 wires each you described is a 4.6 mod motor so figure out which engine you have then ask
