Not firing on number 4 cylinder
Hi,you probably have a compression or injector issue.If it will reach swap the injector wire(2 pin clip)to the next cylinder and see if it starts to miss or even swap the whole injector with one of the front ones to see if the miss follows the injector.If no4 continues to miss grab a compession guage and do a test.It should have a minimum of 140psi at cranking speed.A burnt valve is often the culprit,the clue is popping at the exhaust at idle is an exhaust valve,puffing or chuffing in the intake is an intake valve.This is a head off job,and you should do a full valve service guides etc while off.Also on re assembly check all vacuum pipes and fittings as leaks kill valves.Also if it has just started doing this it may be a vacuum leak near no4.Sometimes the brake booster or hose,it needs to be fixed soon as valves are burnt quickly

So you have a cylinder not contributing based on removing the plug wire & no rpm change.Is that plug wire putting out the same voltage as the rest?Are all the wires on the correct cylinders & dist cap locations?Are all the injector plugs also on & in the correct places?Does that cylinder have good leak down on a test or if youronly able to test compression,how does that compare to the others?Sounds sort of like a mechanical issue & not a very bright outlookthere, if that is the case
