Default Cylinder 3 not firing...

Recently my car had been runnin bad and the other day i went out and pulled the plug wires off on by one,so,.....Here's the problem that i have...

1) I pull off third plug wire...no change to the idle
2) I pull off plug to the injector...no change to the idle
3) I checked the plug and the wire...both are fine and are creating spark

What would be the cause of this?

Default

partially fouled spark plug (will not spark under compression)
clogged #3 injector
bad wire to the #3 injector
a compression test should show any other problems.
