first check your spark plugs, then your leads and then your coils. they are the main things to get spark

do u know for sure it is not sparking on those cylinders mentioned
does it run any different if u unplug one ?
As VnPlayer mention Spark Plug/Leads and coil.
Others could be CAS disk is diry/debris in the slots for the LED sensor not to work
Check my thread on "Step By Step guide in changing CAS" to locate Disk

hows the inside of the dizzy cup look....and rotor arm contact
any broken contacts pitted/corroded. i doubt it would be coil as it is working for others.

possible contact in indicator stalk faulty
Relays in fuse box and fuses. Fuse rail melts common problem. If it has just bypass it for temporary and wire up a new fuse/holder when u can
goodluck
