How hard did you push that poor 2.3L? Does it lope like a dragster when it's just idleing? It's probably missing, the reason is hard to say though. It has 8 spark plugs doesn't it? The piston missing is not likely, it has to go somewhere. If it broke, you would have heard a knocking then a TING! Check your plugs. You engine will tell you a lot about how it's running by how the spark plugs appear. If they all look ok, then I would isolate which cylinder is missing. From there it will be easier to figure out what's going on. No check engine light?
