Don't think that because you see intermittent spark on one cylinder
that the common parts like the coil are beyond suspicion. If the
plug gaps are a little inconsistent a weak coil can make a spark
capable of reliably jumping a small gap, but not a larger one. What
were the circumstances surrounding this problem? Was the car running
one day and just wouldn't start the next? Those new parts you list,
were they replaced because the car wouldn't start or did you change
those things and then find the car wouldn't start? What's going on
on the #2 and #3 cylinders? Car should still start with one
intermittent cylinder.
