Unhappy 1993 explorer please help

93 explorer problems.It is a Eddie Bauer 4x4 with a 4.0 motor.My explorer will start and run but it is missing real bad.It will fire down one side but on the other is a diffrent story.The first two puts off a white looking spark almost like smoke and the last one will not fire at all.I have put 3 coil packs on it,new plugs,new wires,new crank sensor,and a new computer. Someone said maybe something to do with the O-rings on the injectors so I replaced all of them.
Does any one have any suggestions

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you pulled the codes, and if so, did they reveal anything?

Also, I noticed you didn't mention the ignition module. How are you checking the spark? And, as others have said, see what the codes are.

A lot of guys don't know much about vehicles when they start in here either (although they may know how to spell vehicle Just Kidding). But the first part of learning is asking, so you're on your way. If you don't have a code reader, you can read them with an analog volt meter, or with a test light and a paper clip. The procedure for doing that is shown at this link; http://www.troublecodes.net/Ford/
