I would also said that two, but before start spending money, you should check the connectors of the pcm (clipped properly, no corrosion) and the distributor and the rotor, maybe the spark wires and plugs.

Low fuel pressure can cause a multi misfire code to come up too. How old are the cap, rotor, wires and plugs?
