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.

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).
