Go to the portal page and look for a guide on testing coils and sensors it could just save what hair you have left.
Either Hall Sensor or a coil causes 2 cylinders to drop out.
The rev counter is attached to one of the coils.
Simple test is if you can by feeling the headers decide the 2 cylinders that die, its either 1/4 or 2/3, then change the coils over. They are interchangeable.
If the dud cylinders stay same, its Hall sensor, if dud cylinders change to follow the coil change, then its the coil is your problem.
