dead cylinder

got my swap done and running, but it has a dead cylinder.
my question is, are thses wasted spark ignition systems? since 1 coil runs 2 cylinders, does each plug fire twice? i know im getting spark to the cylinder and i swapped injectors with no change, so could there be something electric wrong causing the one cylinder not to get spark at the right time?

Yes each coil runs 2 plugs.

If its not the coil, wires or plug, and it's not the injector, check wiring to the injector. Maybe there is no compression in that cylinder?
