If I am not mistaken, the fuel injection fires the injectors TWICE with every
four cycles instead of once.  There are only two sets of contacts in the
bottom of the dist. to "drive" the injectors for the four cylinders.  Which
means that the injectors fire once for no good reason other than
simplicity...

Could it be:
  Ever so slightly leaky injectors?
