My van shakes a lot when driven and does not accelerate well. I checked to see if power was being sent from coil to spark plugs and found out two are not receiving power. Initially I thought it was the coil so I replaced it. To my surprise it has not fixed the problem. 2 cables are still not sending power. Does anyone know if there is a sensor that is responsible for this problem. I know sensors on this vehicle are problematic because they seem to be going out. Can anyone please help.

Check ignition coil pack wiring
you have one supply of power from the ASD relay
and 3 ground that the PCM responsible to ground
if it is a sensor and or relay all will be effected

need to check wires between coil and PCM
checking for an open wire
and if all OK PCM no good
