It could be caused by a lot of different things, including a fuel injector, spark plug, spark plug wire, low compression, but in most cases it doesnt get to deep. I would start with checking the spark plug wire to cylinder number 5, then the spark plug. Moisture can cause a misfire so make sure the metal contact points are dry.

After check engine light on analysis probable causes indicated #1 missfire, EGR problems, car feels like out of power when step on gas, then it goes but missing here and there

I had a misfire problem with my 2004 mazda 6. mine was the V6 and it was the #5 that was misfiring. i cant imagine what the loss of power feels like if the #1 is misfiring, but i replaced my ignition coil. I cant be too sure what the 4 cyl engine block looks like, but if you have the v6, its gonna take some time to replace because youll have to remove the air intake manifold thing on top of the engine block to get to the #1, #2, #3 pistons.
good luck!

All of the sudden my check engine light, my VSC light, and my TRAC OFF light came on. Any thoughts?

You need to have the ecm scanned for codes. The VSC and TRAC OFF lights are one just because the Check engine light is on. Once you clear the code in the ecm they will go off too.

Check engine light is on.

Turn the key from off to on 5 times and the van will display the P codes on the odometer display. Google those codes and you should find the cause of you problem or an indication of where to start anyway. Some codes don't go away until you unplug the battery.
