engine stalled out, put new coil on and rotor and cap. The van ran but developed a miss on #5. then about 300 miles later #7 showed a miss. changed the pickup in the distributor and the crank case positioner. the spark plugs I only changed the #5

Engine misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
