Try swapping coils with a good cyl and see what happens.

Maybe it has dirty contacts?

Without checking with the proper test equipment, I'd have to guess a bad power pack, timer base or wiring.

you can change the wires from power pack to coils around & check it this way all it does it just changes the firing order around but put them back like you found them when finished , i do it this way then i know for sure .
