The first place to start looking is the spark plug wires. They can be checked with an ohm meter. Rule of thumb is 5000 ohms per foot of wire.

Help with missing problem Chevy 1997 Z71 5.7 liter engine?

Remove all the plugs and do a compression test on all cylinders. If compression is good then replace all plugs and plug wires one at a time. If you find one or more cylinders with low compression, suspect a burnt valve, or a possible blown head gasket, especially if you are loosing coolant. You may also have an injector that is malfunctioning. Start with the plugs and wires which probably need replacing anyway.

How do you find out if the cylinders are working on a 1994 Ford Mustang 3.8L V6?

The pistons will be working all the time because they are attached to the crank shaft. This makes it impossible for them to not work. They could, however, be missing, which can be caused by lack of fuel. All that needs to be done is removing the fuel line to the injector. Then, crank the engine and see if fuel squirts out. That'd be a good place to start.
