I have power to #3 and #4 injectors but not #1 and #2. The car will run but it is missing on 1 & 2. I have spark but when I pull the wires off the injectors nothing happens. After testing more I found I have no power to both of them. Where does the power come from? Do I need to look at the releasing contacts at the base of the distributor?

Yes, the injectors are opened in two batches. I had the cylinder numbers wrong, but the idea correct--the pairs are diagonally across the engine from each other. If the injectors on one side of the engine aren't opening, then the major suspect is the ground part of the circuit, not the power side. (Or, on the 1/2 side, suspect debris in the fuel clogging up the injectors--those tend to clog up first as they are closer to the pump.)

Verify that the injectors are getting power when the starter is cranking. A test light probably will work for that. Check all four injectors so you can compare the injectors that aren't working to those that are.
