Default 1997 Blazer Running on 2 good cylinders (Help!)

To begin with, I just want to put it out there that I took my Blazer to a reputable mechanic to be inspected and have it's brakes worked on. What turned out to be a $1000+ job led to more problems than what it had before.

Now for the issue:

I had a Service Engine Soon light come on ever since I purchased the vehicle. When I got it serviced (As mentioned above), I had them pull up the codes for the vehicle. What they told me kind of surprised me. Cylinders 1,2,4,6 were misfiring.

I need some advice on what to look at when approaching this issue. I am already purchasing new spark plugs tomorrow, but just the fact that cylinders 2,4,6 are on the same bank worries me.

Any help is appreciated!!

Before you throw $$$ at it=look the whole thing over,kind of like you should have before you bought it-Don't get me wrong,these units can cost more to fix than they are worth at the retail level! Start with electrics and then the usual fuel test and the commpresion check-It might surprise you! Either a great deal... or a good parts unit!
