You see mold on the coil, you see ice on the coil, you see dye on the coil with a blacklight after cycling dyed refrigerant through it, you run a halogen sniffer over it and it detects a leak.

How long does it take for the central air unit to unfreeze?

More importantly, why is the unit freezing? There are several reasons that can cause this. Most common are dirty filter or evaporator coil that the filter protects. It can also be lack of air flow across the evaporator coil due to a bad fan motor or broken fan belt if so equipped. Last reason might be the unit is low on refrigerant which would mean that you have a leak somewhere.

Why are you getting weak spark in two cylinders?

It depends on the type of ignition system you have. Some have ignition coils at each spark plug, or coils for each plug away from the plug, or coils for every 2 plugs, or a single coil for all plugs. So the coil could be bad, or perhaps simpler the spark plug wire could be bad, or a bad spark plug. If you have a distributor it could be the cap or the signal rotor. There are other possibilities including the Electronic Control Unit, and electromagnetic interference (not likely).
