Why do you think there's a problem?

Does the car feel weak like it is running off of 3 cylinders ?

Could be the dizzy starting to go......Are you by any chance getting a little squeal when you start the car?
I just had this similar issue last week but it ended up being a bad spark plug wire....
You may want to check that also....just because theyre NEW doesn't mean they are perfect.....Especially if the box they came in says MADE IN USA.

An inline 4 that sounds like a flat 4 is not firing on all 4 or is misfiring.

do a power balance test.
ground out each spark plug wire. if you ground it out, there should be a noticeable drop in rpm. if you ground one out and there is no rpm drop, that cylinder is misfiring. if you find that one is misfiring. find the reason why. check compression again. check plugs, wires, etc.
