Hey guys, I decided it was best to start a new thread now that I have pinned down the problem. From my other post, I replaced the head and timing belt on my 89 325i after the PO broke the belt. after finishing I had trouble starting the car which was a my mistake. Now the car loves to start but will just rev to 1 grand and then die. If I apply a little throttle it will run at about 500-700 rpm and you can hear and feel #2 and #4 missing back to back which is probably why it wont idle since they fire one after another. On inspection I have been able to conclude that I do not get spark from #2 and #4 at the distributor. The cap was replaced with a claimed to be working one and the problem remained although I cannot say for sure it was the same two cylinders on the old cap.
So that really just leaves the rotor as far as I know which is why I am going to ask you guys for input as I do not know the system very well. So again #2 and #4 no spark at dizzy all others are fine.
