2004 Ford Escape Repair Question

Ford Escape Gas Problem
Hello,
I have a 2004 Ford Escape and recently when it is wet out the car started sputtering and loosing power. Just yesterday after a weekend of not starting it and lots of moisture in the air the car stopped moving forward and starting running rough. It was at this point I started smelling gas and pulled over. I had a friend come over with a computer and tell me my #4 value was misfiring. Do you have any suggestions to have my #4 value fire again?
Thanks!

Someone is going to have to determine the cause of the misfire. You're probably looking at plugs, ignition wires (if equipped) and possibly a coil.
