Welcome to AF!!

It it isn't firing on 1 & 3 then the coil has probably gone bad. The coil for one and three is the same and it would be as simple as replacing the coil to repair it. You may also want to change the other coil as well along with the plugs and boots. This way everything that is prone to go bad will be replaced especially since you have everything apart anyway.
