Initially there was no gas going to the plugs hence i cleaned my injectors now im getting gas but no spark rotor number 2

If you swap the coils from the good rotor and put them on the bad rotor do you get spark? How are you verifying this?

Hmm. Not getting spark is an ignition problem, not an engine problem.

How are you testing for spark? It almost sounds like you’re assuming that you don’t “have spark” because the engine isn’t running correctly, or the plugs are wet.

Have you tested the wires as well?

Good to eliminate all the easy possibilities before you have to do something more difficult.

Your engine has nothing to do with the car not getting sparks.
