Default Help! Misfiring in cylinder 1

I was just driving around minding my own business and then all of a sudden my engine light comes on and blinking rapidly. I pulled over and started the engine again and the check engine light came back up. I went to the acura dealer and they told me that I was misfiring in cylinder 1. The only wierd thing is that it doesn't hesitate when i accelerate and the check engine light always stays on and then blinks. I check the wires and they were fine and replaced with new spark plugs. I then changed the distributor cap and now i'm working to replace the rotor, but the damn bolt cant come out and stripped the bolt. Is there anything else I should replace or check?
thanks

plug wires or injectors, misfiring code is due to one of them

I had the same problem when I had my EK. I tried a new o2 sensor, new spark plugs, new cap/rotor. Turned out to be a faulty plug wire. It was the last thing I thought of so all that money went down the drain. But at least I got to replace everything.
