The spark plugs and wires need attention. also check fuel filter. if the plugs are ok, check the coils to be sure they are all firing.

95 dodge van, 2500. has a BAD engine miss, seems to smooth out when going up hill (giving it some gas) gets bad again when just going cruise speed..

Well to start with, if you have a 1995 Dodge van and it has the original engine, you have a fuel injector for each cylinder. The last year Dodge used a carb was 1987.
So you could have injectors that are not working, or the plugs may not be firing because of the cap or rotor, or it could be a compression or vac problem.
I would want to know which cylinders and then go down the list of possible causes. You should be able to use a vac gauge or tach and pull one wire at a time to find the weak cylinders.

I have a 1999 ford contour...running horrible...missing...no power...chug chug chug...engine lighrt on..only code it is throwing is for the egr valve...when you have to excelerate up a hill it has no

EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) valve may be stopped up with carbons. This would account for some loss of power as well as odor if leaking around intake. If I remember correctly, egr tube originates just above catalytic converter on this model. Condition may be early signs of cat failure ( commonly accompanied by "rotten egg" odor). I recommend having emission system checked by certified tech to avoid uneccessary component replacement.

When gear is engaged in drive, the car feels like it's "coughing" or skipping. It seems as if the transmission doesn't want to shift

If it is a later model (for instance, mine is a 2000) it could be the sparkplug wires are to old. I had the same problem as well as chugging and sputtering going up hills. What was going on was the wires were not allowing enough power to get to the plugs to fire properly. Disconnect the Mass Air Valve while the vehicle is running, if you get a steadier idle and stonger overall sounding engine that this is definately your problem. I did it and my MPV purrs now.

Hope this works for ya.
