SOURCE: have replaced whole ignition system
Have you taken the passanger side valve cover off while the cars running? Doing this you will see if the valve is opening at the intake valve allowing gas vapors to fill the cylinders so as to ignite and exit out the exhaust. No fuel from intake valve no heat from exhaust. I have another idea as well but this is the quickest and most simple.

ignition mod. grounds,pcm or timing belt could all be it but, I would have to look at timing first.
SOURCE: 99 Chevy 4.3 2 cylinders don't fire (all cylinders have spark)
Sounds like your computer is fried. Check prices at your local recycling yard or EBAY. Ive seen this happen on other makes and models as well, and its always been the computer...
hope this helps!
SOURCE: I have a 97 chevy tahoe. I changed the spark
the number 6 cylinder is located (if you are looking at it from the front of the car) it is on the left side third cylinder back from the front. you probally have a bad injector that is just dripping fuel into that cylinder.

First thing you need to know is which cylinders are missing. Then, don't forget there is an engine beneath the electronics. Do a quick test with a vacuum gauge and do a compression test. Check the distributor shaft for side play. If everything checks out good, then do electronic component testing. have a code check run (many parts stores do this free) and get a chiltons or haynes manual and follow test procedures in there.
I refrain from giving repair suggestions with problems like yours because people keep changing instead of testing parts. When I work on my vehicles or other peoples cars, I do testing to avoid buying expensive parts that most times won't correct the problem. At this point the most I'd suggest is to clean the mass air flow sensor wires with a Q-tip and carb cleaner...that often helps and is free. If you run into a problem with whatever you find, ask and I'll try to help.
good luck
