Ignition Problems

Hey all, I've done a fair bit of searching, but I havent found a solution to my problem yet.

My car is an 86 GX with a 91 TII motor (Jspec). It has about 5000ish KM on it, and I have never had an issue starting it before. I was away for 5 days, and when I came back, it would not start. It cranks over no problem, but it just will not start. I have narrowed it down to spark (im pretty sure, because its getting lots of gas/air).

I took out the plugs and cleaned them, and put them back in... no dice. The spark on them is intermittent at best. However one time, I had both plugs out of the frontmost rotor, with the rear still connected. I held the plug wires from the front rotor to metal, to see if I was getting a spark, and when I did that, the car sounded like it wanted to start (sounded different then before). So I replaced the plugs and wires, and it started up! I didnt give it gas soon enough though, and she stalled out. Does that all the time, no biggie. Went to start it up again, and now its doing the same thing as it was before, and when i checked the plug wires, they rarely spark.

Any help at all would be excellent. Thanks in advance!
