97 DX hatchback all stock misfire
So I bought this civic hatchback off a friend of a friend he said it had a misfire and didn't know what it was I checked it out didn't look to bad plus it is just a y7 so the engine isn't that big of a concern... But instead of me pulling it out and throwing another one in I was gonna try fixing this one up first.
First thing I did was new plugs and wires because the wire to cylinder 3 wasn't producing any spark at all and I had a good set of wires around
Gapped all the plugs to .040 which I believe is the stock size I found it on here
Started it up still missing from cylinder 3 it was sitting for a while so I just figured maybe bad gas went and threw some 93 in it plus it was just low
Next I tried putting some seafoam in the vaccum ports to possibly clean out a bad injector and also threw some in the gas only thing it did was make a nice cloud behind my car haha
Car is getting spark to all 4 cylinders plugs are new clean gas in it I have no other clue what it could be any ideas?

Haven't compression tested the cylinders and im not sure to be honest if the injectors are pulsing fuel I don't know how to check that exactly im guessing ohms meter?

Injectors are fine compression was around 170ish except cylinder 3 where the misfire is it was at about 50? I'm gonna check out the valves sometime soon
