Hello,I'm Danny.
The best way I tell do-it-yourselfers on how to test is pretty simple.Take the cylinder number 1 coil on top of the spark plug and switch with a different cylinder.Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes to clear the code.It's easier if you have access to a scanner or code reader to just erase the code.Start and drive the car around to get the check engine light on to see if the code is switched to the cylinder you put the cylinder number 1 coil on.Then you will know that ignition coil is faulty and swap out with a new one.If by chance the code stays on cylinder number 1 then something else is wrong.Let me know what happens if you perform this and we'll go from there.Also, here is a misfire tutorial to view on misfires:
