If they are next to each other it may have a blown head gasket. Do a compression test to verify.

Well its not compression, probably injectors.I have seen 2 go out at once, not very common but not unheard of. Get a noid light and test the injector harness to be sure th elight flashes on every one, if it does the injectors are most likely bad, if not get back to me

Pull the plugs and keep them in order. If any injectors arent working there should be a color difference in the spark plugs
