If you're not getting spark and you've replaced the plug and wire, I'd say your next step would be distributor cap, probably rotor too.

do a compression test on all 4 cylinders. if #2 is lower than the rest, well that sucks. cylinder leakdown tests are better, but compression is easier to do

Compression test your engine
If the compression is low on cylinder 2 then i feel bad for you

If its good, then your in luck all you have to do is check everything else in that cylinder
(injector, spark plug, ignition wire, distributor cap, injector clip and wire)

Take a long screw driver or something similar. touch the tip of it to the injector and put your ear up to the end of it and listen to see if you hear the injector firing. Do that on all of them so you know what it's supposed to sound like.

Infact you can also unplug each injector while the engine is running and see what happens. If that injector doesn't bog the engine as much as the rest when you unplug it, you know that's your problem.
