My van has cylinders that's constantly missing. I've been trying to find the misses but can't. I've done a compression test and the cylinders appear with good compression. the van has no power. I just don't know how many cylinders are missing. thanks for your help in this matter.

start the van pull one wire off at a time untill you hear no changes in the engine, when you find it pull the plug and check the plug and wire. or you can swap the plug from another cylinder to see if it swaps cylinders. a plug doesnt have to look bad to be bad.

hello: the best thing to do is a general tune up. get new wires, cap, rotor, plugs etc. Get a new air cleaner also. Once that is done you might find it will run quite well. If it still misses, then we will look for the problem.
good luck
