Well there are a couple things you can do yourself on that engine.
First, is it still under warranty?
If not, you can swap wires and coils to see if the misfire changes cylinders...2 bolts hold the coil, they are interchangeable..
If you do that and the misfire stays on # 1 cylinder, most likely you have an injector problem.
