Was it misfiring before you changed out the parts?

Seems like the problem has been around a while..

Check for corrosion on the coil connectors on those cylinders.

Almost sounds like an injector issue. You could maybe try swapping injectors from a good cylinder to missing cylinder, and see if the issue follows the injector or stays with the cylinder.
