Idles rough and runs rough till about 2500 rpm then runs just fine unless dips below 2500 rpm again. Am pretty sure it is one cylinder not firing but not sure what to do about it.

Pull of the plug wires one at a time until one of them being pulled off makes little or no difference in the running of the engine. When you find the one start with replacing the plug. If there is no spark there however from the plug wire, replace the wires on the vehicle.
