It looks like you may have to fool some computers, depending on how old your car is. For example, the computer might falsely sense a misfire and add more fuel to those cylinders, or increase fuel to the others to compensate.
I've been trying to think of how to do this myself to make my own hybrid. If so, though, you might be able to tie the sensors from the working cylinders to the computer inputs of the missing ones. That way (and you may have to buffer it off depending on the electronics) they get the same signals so it thinks all is well in the missing gaps.
I feel like you'd have an easier time with a carbureted engine.

Why would my car run with 2 plugs out but will not run with all 4 plugs in?
When the plugs are in there is air being compressed on all cylinders and two are not working to help out. If you have 2 cylinders down check the coils see if you have a model that has 2 cylinder controlled off one coil, follow the wires, see if they go to the dead cylinders, if so try changing that coil.
Your Neon just decided to run on 2 Cylinders instead of all 4?
Your Neon decided nothing. It cannot think nor make decisions. It is running on 2 cylinders because there is a problem. Start by replacing the spark plugs and plug wires. If it still continues to miss, then have a compression test run. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak you may have a blown head gasket. If that is the case, STOP driving this car immediately or serious engine damage will occur. You should not drive this car on 2 cylinders in any case as you will destroy the catalytic converter if you continue to do so.

Car most likely needs it.

What cylinders go to which coil pack?
I have a 4 cyl. Chevy Corsica that needed a coil pack replaced. There are two of them, one goes with the odd number cylinders ( 1 & 3) and the other goes with the even number cylinders (2 & 4) Typically, the number 1 cylinder is the firing cyliinder and if that coil pack is gone, the car should not start. My car is a rarity that actually started and ran on the 2 & 4 cylinders.
