Hi all, thought i had seen an answer to this some where but can't seem to find it now.

I have no combustion in cylinders one and two. I have spark at the plugs. If i remove 1 and 2 plugs it starts no problem just on 3 and 4 but if i remove 3 and 4 plugs it doesn't start at all with just 1 and 2. Any ideas to solve this, what could be causing it. Thanks in advance. It's a 1989 998 engine.

When I had this on an online A-series found exhaust valves on 3 & 4 were burnt so hopefully not as bad as that!
