It's sparking yes .... In the process of trying to remove inlet top hat to have a look at injectors ... Anything else should maybe check

check injector loom

it should have an igntion live.. and batched earths, its probably lost the earth for cylinders 2/3

if its sparking, then its not getting fuel. if its both cylinders, and it happened simultaneously i would be looking into the loom.

compression test?

Head gasket may have blown between the 2 cylinders. :y:

If you've got spark, and you're getting signal to the injectors it has to me something mechanical? Logically.

I'd put money on it being injectors. 2&3 are fired at the same time, so if ones shorting, the other wont work.

Just pull them out of head and turn it over all attached to fuel rail and loom, soon see if fuel is coming out.
