Remove # 2 plug and check for spark. I would recommend a tune-up first.

My 05 Crown Vic LX is misfiring Cylinder 1 2 and 3.

Your next step would be to check for injector pulse (signal at injector) and are the injectors working. Is the miss while driving, at idle, under load, or decell? What codes are u getting?

Po300 2005 dodge ram 2500

That's a good start. Code 300 is the code for a random miss. None of the cylinders are loosing RPM enough to point to one cylinder.
At least not yet.
You may have to wait until the problem gets bad enough to have a dead miss on one cylinder. Fuel injectors or fuel pressure is another possible cause as well as a vac leak.

Had 2005 ram 4x4 hooked to computer, shows miss is in #2 cylinder, what could cause truck to miss/lose power and could it be in fuel system

I suppose it COULD be fuel...maybe an injector. But it would be best to troubleshoot the problem in the misfire first. Check to see if the cylinder is getting spark first, and if not, track the problem back from there, testing components as you go.

2005 venture van misses when you,re at cursing speed. stalls out when stopping at a stop light. hooked up to a tester and it showed a bad crankshaft sensor. put one in and did'nt solve the problem

I guess I should start by saying the code did not say the sensor was bad. It probably said the sensor signal was out of range.
If replacing the sensor fixed the code but the engine still runs rough and stalls, it could be a leaking injector or a problem with the throttle body.
You would need to know which cylinder is causing the miss.

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with 5.7l Hemi. It started running rough and the check engine came on. I had a mechanic friend hook it to his diagnostic computer and it said that the left bank was misfiring....

Usually you get a code that tells you which cylinder or cylinders are acting up.
The code means the cylinder (s) are not providing power but does not tell you why.
So you have to figure out if it is an ignition, compression, or fuel problem to proceed. Could also be a vac leak.
