Time for a compression test. Mark the spark plug wires so that you'll know where to put them back. Pull all plugs, screw in a compression gauge and have an assistant crank the engine with the accellerator full open. Let the engine crank until you hear the compression hit the gauge at least 3 times, then stop and look at the pressure reading on the gauge. Record the reading for each gauge. If one or more gauge is significantly below the others, you probably have a burned exhaust valve, the most common cause of low compression in one cylinder.

Engine misses at higher RPMs its a 1993 town and country?

Generally speaking, when an engine "misses" (fails to fire on all cylinders,) there is a failure in the ignition system. Since most factory ignition systems lose power at higher RPMs, flaws in the wiring or spark plugs will become aparent. Given the age of your car, replcement of the plugs and wires will probably solve the problem. Note: If you note excessive dirt or grease on the spark plugs when you remove them, the problem may be minor oil leak in the engine. If these are not fixed, the problem will return when the new plugs foul up.
