You're either not getting spark, fuel, or there's no compression in #4.
Did the #4 wire continue to arc when you pulled it? Hopefully, it didn't and it's something as simple as a wire/coil.

Yeah check your sparks plugs
I had the same problem last week.
I was driving into the gasstation and it was working fine untill i turned it off. The i started it and it was running on 3 cylyinders.
When you pulled the wire did it continue making a spark?
Put another sparkplug inside and see what happeens.
Maby your injectors are blocked.
Hope it's something like that, and not your compression and piston rings or a burned valve
