"if i'm not getting fire from at least two of my plugs ,the last two,does this have anything to do with my head gasket,just like to know before the mechanic does the compession test,he say's it might be the head gasket,she warms up ,then quits"
 
"If you are not getting spark

"If you are not getting spark in some cylinders but you do get spark in others, your problem is ignition (cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs), not a head gasket."
 
"Getting fire does that mean t

"Getting fire does that mean that the cylinder is not firing or not getting spark? If it is not getting spark then it is ignition related, if it is not firing then it can be a multitude of problems, low compression one possibility. First I would verify that the cylinder is getting spark, once that is verified, I would do a compression test.

Have a great day.
