How did you check your plugs and wires?

Did you do a compression test?

The coil fires both plug wires at the same time , if one is working and the other isn't the problem is "A" the coil , "B" a plug wire or "C" a fouled plug , swap the wires around on the coil with new plugs not re-cleaned ones and see if the problem moves .
