take a compression test you may have bad valve, if the valve don't close all the way  you wont have enough compression to create explosion. or check your electronic  coil and your firing order.

 I would check the number 2 and 3 plug wires for spark at the spark plug end. if there is spark there, you could have connected the 2 and 3 cylinder wires to the wrong cylinders. try reversing these 2 wires.
