Just guessing here, since I wouldn't know a CA18 from an AR-15, but how about the time-honored "distributor 180 degrees out of phase"?

Assuming, of course, that there is a distributor in the first place.

^yea, check that... also, runing your car while those two cylinders arent workin isnt a very good idea. Check that you have the right spark plug wires going to the write plugs, and that the injectors are OK. may have something to do with a screwy ecu also

also check to make sure you dont have a pinched injector wire or pinched coil wire, that will create problems like you described and I have seen it more than once on JDM motors from shipping and moving them around.
