There has to be more to this, have you done a compression test? Is there any smoke? How do you know he is missing firing a cylinder?

my old supra did this....

step one-get a compressor/hose/air gun
step two- open ur hood
step three- blow the water out of your plugs
step four- do a burn out and post it in this thread
