First off, you can ignore for the moment P0442 as that is an emissions leak code that won't affect the way the van runs.
I'd check the coil.
Use this as a guide

Connecting a fuel pressure gauge to read the fuel pump pressure at the fuel rail could prevent a needless filter change. The odds are the filter is fine considering they are designed to last the life of the van. I will never say never though.

Here's an article http://www.diycardoctor.com/ignition_testing.htm that describes strategies for troubleshooting misfires. All of us can use the info in the first part. The second is great for those who have a real time scanner.
