Have you checked the inside of the distributer cap?

Try changing the cap and rotor.

I'm guessing the distributor is off 1 tooth & is misfiring those 2 cylinders.

Have you checked those two plugs? If they have cracked insulators or damaged side electrodes, there's no path to ground and there will be no current in the wires to trigger the light. graemlins/beers.gif
