If you look at the spade connectors on your left coil you'll see someone has replaced the connectors (with crimp on spades). The connectors on the right coil are still stock. It's pretty common with the stock connector to have the wire break. Try jiggling the wires on coil 2 and see if it sparks on 4. I'd replace that spade connector with a crimp on like what happened with the other coil. Hope that helps.

Here's another thread on that topic

Left coil goes to 1 and 4, right to 2 and 3.  

Are you getting spark on the dead cyls?  You very likely could have screwed up the connection on the crappy OEM leads/caps when you pulled them.
