Found the CPS, reads 355 ohms. But cannot find any info on what it should read. Cannot find the ICM however, and hear that some of these had the ICM intergrated with the EEC.

I did a few more test with the timing light. I found out as the van warms up coils 1 /5 starts randomly missing. I believe that I'm losing the secondary on the packs. I haven't had much time to mess with it. Soon as the weather breaks I'm going to replace all the packs with new ones. I tried ones from a junk yard but it ran worse. I'll let you know once I change them out. Thanks for asking.

Try doing this:

Here is a little trick that will literally show you if a DIS module and its crankshaft sensor circuit are working: connect a halogen headlamp to the spade terminals that mate the DIS module to the coils. A headlamp is recommended here because it puts more of a load on the module than a test lamp. If the headlamp flashes when the engine is cranked, the DIS module and crankshaft position sensor circuit are functioning. Therefore, the problem is in the coils.

Well, it ended up being none of that stuff. Corroded ground wire connection on the firewall. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have tested the coils, ignition mod, cam sensor has been replaced, new plugs wires, and crank sensor. The fuel pressure is right were it needs to be and yet I still am running ruf and I am getting a p0300 code witch is random or multiple cylinder misfire

Clean and inspect the MAF or MAP. Is engine running hot or normal?

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following-inspect and test all the following below:
1. Defective spark plug.
2. Inadequate spark/coil, defective spark plug wire.
3. Lack of compression
4. False air leakage.
5. Faulty fuel injectors.
6. Insufficient fuel pressure.
7. Contaminated fuel.
8. EGR valve that is leaking.
9. Oxygen sensors.
10. Throttle position sensor.
11. Idle air control valve.
