check to see if you have any compression in that cylinder.Make sure your plugs are good. Also check you wire to that cylinder.

Buy a compression tester at a parts store. Its pretty much a guage/tube that goes in place of your plug and you crank the motor to see how much compression it makes at that cylinder.

Check the plug wire like mentioned above, and also make sure that injector is firing.
