That's a tough one.First you have to find which cylinder it is (if it's only one). Then you have to determine if that/those cylinders have compression. If not you have major engine issues. If there is compression you have to determine if the spark plug/s are good, coil/s, injector/s, ECM, etc. Is there a vacuum leak? That's the short list.

My 2004 chevy trailblazer is missing badly. Had them read the code for me at auto zone and it said I had a miss fire on the number one cylinder. I changed the plugs and it is still missing badly

Try moving the coil pack from cylinder 1 to another cylinder (swap locations) and see if the same code comes up. If code is different, then coil pack is bad. Other reasons for miss; bad injector, poor compression.
Also, I know you changed plugs already, but always use AC Delco 43-103 plugs on this vehicle.

My trailblazer keeps missing bad when the fan is on and wants to go dead

Need more info......does it do this while the Defroster or A/C is on only? Meaning, with the Defroster and A/C OFF, and the fan on, it runs normal right? Did you recently disconnect the battery for any reason? Get back to me, I can help. Sounding like an easy fix here so far...

I have a 2002 TrailBlazer with the straight 6,diognostic check said #3 cylinder was dead or misfiring, also map sensor showed up. #3 cylinder was misfiring, so to test the coil pack I swapped #3 coil pack...

did you replace only one spark plug? that can cause issues because of differences in resistances between cylinders. also, did the map code stay off after replacing
?

My 2002 trailblazer was missing, so I took it to the shop. They put a tune-up on it, but it is still missing. They said I need a timing chain, truck has 110,000 miles.

Timing chain usually does not cause a miss. It may run sluggish or even backfire, but a miss is like a spark plug with the wire off. Like a dead cylinder. Chevy timing chains do stretch but those engines can handle quite abit of timing. I had one with 120K miles and it was only off 4 degrees. That's nothing for chevy to handle. A tune up is usually nothing but a set of plugs and a hook up to a diagnostic machine. I would look deeper. Go out at night, start the engine with the hood open. Make sure you are in a very dark place. Look for sparks jumping from plug wire. Another way to to use a spray bottle of water. Spray a very fine mist of water around the wires. If they are bad, a spark will jump. Check cap for deposits. You can only hope that the plugs were gapped right.
Good luck
