Default Engine Code Issue (searched)

I just bought a '97 Civic EX, and it's throwing codes 71 (Cylinder 1 Misfire), and 73 (Cylinder 3 Misfire). I'm new to Hondas, and help/suggestions?

PS: I'm certain the car needs a tune up (plugs, rotor, cap, wires, ect).

The tune up worked. I replaced the rotor, cap, wires, n plugs and reset the ECU and bam, it was gone!
