99 4.2 misfire

Trying to assist long distance. This truck is misfiring 2&3 cylinders according to autozone. The owner who is not mechanically smart changed plugs, wires and coilpack. He just found the pcv unplugged. We think he has the wires wrong or something simple. We are in DFW Texas area and he is near Mexico border. Any thoughts before someone heads to the border.

The lean , miss ,Vac leak I get . The smoke ? Where was it ? Was it coolant , oil , ??? . If using a shop , Let your shop see what is going on , then ck around to be sure they are giving you a good price to fix what they find .
