Providing it's a good spark, and plugs etc are not cracked check injectors 3 and 4 earth's are switched as the injectors run constant live not earth.

NO, but a better way would be to swap the 2 known working ones with the 2 suspect ones and see if the running cylinders move with that.

Do you know if there is fuel coming from the rail to these two injectors?, I wonder if the phasing is out to the injectors otherwise.
