Did you change the spark plugs and correctly gap them?

Swap the coil and plug from cylinder 4 to cylinder 1 and see if the misfire moves to 1.

If it does move, then the coil or spark plug is bad. Then you can swap the coil from cylinder 1 to cylinder 2 and if the misfire moves, you know it is the coil.

Could also be an injector or vac leak.
The code means the cylinder did not fire and there was a drop in RPM not that the spark plug did not actually fire.

These are codes for misfires on #1,#2, and random cylinders.

A cylinder will also misfire from the injectors as well as the spark side. If this is a v-6, check for camshaft position sensors.

Remove old plugs and put in new.

The 2006 KIA Sorento is a smaller SUV with a 3.5-liter V6 engine. This engine uses six spark plugs to run the engine properly. There will be three spark plugs on each side of the engine. All six spark plugs will need to be changed at the same time to ensure that all six are working equally. The spark plugs are in plain sight on the right and left side of the engine and have rubber wires connected to the top of each one.

1. 1 Insert the edge of the spark-plug gapping tool under the meal arm in the center of the one of the new spark plugs and turn the gapper until the number .038 is in the center of the metal arm. Repeat this for all other new spark plugs.
   
2. 2 Open the hood of the 2006 KIA Sorento and remove a rubber wire from one of the spark plugs. Use the ratchet and spark-plug socket to remove that spark plug from the engine.
   
3. 3 Insert the new spark plug into the hole where the old plug was. Hand-tighten the new spark plug until you are certain it is seated properly, then tighten it further using the ratchet and spark-plug socket. Replace the rubber wire to the top of the new spark plug.
   
4. 4 Repeat for all other new spark plugs. Once you have replaced all six spark plugs and replace the rubber wires to the tops of them, close the hood.
   

remove the coil packs on valve cover, then remove spark plugs

Be careful there.. If you remove the Throttle Position Sensor TPS or the throttle Cable, the engine light will come on because there is a certain setting that needs to be done to ensure accurate emission control.
