Mystery engine miss

I have a 98 f150 2 wheel drive standard with a 4.6 the engine has a miss and when I put it on the scanner it comes up with a miss on cyl#4 I have replaced the fuel injector the plug the wires and the coils on the engine but it still has a miss. I have checked for vacuum leaks and found none. I am at a lose as to what else it could be. Can you help me please?

Check its compression to see if it varies with other cylinders.

I did a compression test and cyl #2,3,4 were 165 and the rest were 155.

Compression results seems ok.

Have you checked the EGR functions and operations?
