I have already replaced the ignition coil on cylinder #5. The car begain to run rough again after about 2 months with the service engine light coming on. Had it checked at a local auto parts and the code read, something to the effect: "misfire cylinder #1 during the first 10,000 rotations.
Please pull out your spark plug on #1 and check for oil/antifreeze or moisture from water on the plug and in the cylinder no specific engine given but if you have a plastic manifold with the aluminum cross over your gasket could be leaking Im thinking this because now both the 1&5 you've had problems with and that crossover is directly in front of both bank 1 coil 1 bank 2 coil 5 also is your cover over the radiator missing this will allow much me water to spray in when raining or the car wash is the engine running normal temperature?
Run quality injector through the system
have no1 injector repaired
it is most probable an injector problem

Number 4 cylinder is the 2nd cylinder back on the driver side. Check to see if your EGR valve is clogged with carbon. If it is, clean it out and I like to remove the EGR tube from the exhaust to valve and clean it out as well. The EGR tube is a metal tube. Remove the spark plug and see if it's been firing. How long has it been since it's had a set of plugs and wires?

I went through the same problem and it was quitre simply the coil which was a $54 fix
SOURCE: Check engine light comes on. p0171 and p0351 codes found
From Lusty Kid:
I know the economy is bad, but change all of the plugs. Check your PCV Valve hose, 150 rottens them out allowing air to be sucked in, thus all kinds of codes.
Depending on mileage. Dismount the EGR valve and clean passages. If you are really good dismount the throtle position sensor body and clean out passages with Choke Cleaner., dismount where the EGR valves connects to the engine, clean out passages. Also check the hose thats behind this mounting to ensure is not clogged. If clogged clean it out. If not replace it. Is about 1.5 ft. long, connects to the PCV Valve Hose.
When is the last time you change your harness. Can't remember??? Replace it. Good Luck
