Ignition Problem help me

Hey I have a 95 z28 and I am having a misfire on cylinder 2 and 7. I have replaced the opti, harness, coil, plugs ,and wires and am still having the same problem. Also checked the injectors and they are working.

any codes?

list them all please
and some more information about your car and what you have done to it would help as well, maybe put that information in your sig so you dont have to list it every time you ask a question

where are you getting your opti's from?

no codes at all though?

did you change the cap and rotor also?

and again, information about the car and any modifications would be awesome, but thats only if you want us to help

Have you checked the compression of at least those 2 cylinders? The right way?

The codes for the Opti optical sensor do not turn on the SES light. You have to scan it.

ok so i spark tested it and its not sending spark to cyl 2 and 7 but the other opti did the same thing so i doubt 2 different optis have the exact same problem so im guessing the pcm. any thoughts?
