Are you SURE that spark plug has no spark? If so the ONLY possible causes would be
-spark plug
-spark plug wire
-ignition cap.

Everything else ignition related would affect all four cylinders. Try listening to the fuel injector to see if it's pulsing like the other ones. You may not be getting fuel.
