Default KA24E Misfire?

This is for my Hardbody project but I figured there was some SOHC KA Nissan guys that could lend a hand. My truck set for well over a year. Im back to working on it now, I got a battery in it and tried to start it, It was really hesitant and finally started, It was missing BAD, So I changed plugs. fule filter etc. And it is still missing, There is no fire on #4 cylinder, I can pull that plug wire off the dist. and nothing changes. I put a spark tester on it and it is getting spark, no GREAT but it is getting spark (Maybe time to change wires too) Im thinking it might be a fuel problem. When I changed the fuel filter, It was rusty and NASTY gas coming from both sides. Is there anywhere locally I can get the injectors cleaned etc? New ones are expensive even with my autozone discount (2nd job) Or anything else anyone can think of? Im stumped, Im gonna do a compression test here in a few mins

If it's been sitting or awhile best bet is just do a full tune up(spark plugs/wires/cap n rotor), it made a HUGE difference on my SOHC KA.

yank the injectors and clean em out with a plastic brush and carb cleaver or gasoline , then run a bottle of lucas injector cleaner through your tank

It's probably a fuel injector. Had that problem on both of my 240s. Luckily I found 4 for $10, and they all worked perfect. Look around, you'll find one.
And +1 for Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner

yo shorty i'd def. agree w/ changing the injectors if they look bad, but if you change one, change them all. also cap and rotor is a good idea cuz of how long it sat without fire'n, but if it were me i'd just go ahead and change the whole dizzy, i.e. did you try to start it w/ year old gas in it? cuz thats not good, over time the octane level gets depleted that along w/ a lil dirty injector could be wuts going on... anyways good luck pimp'n!

off topic:
how the hell are you man, things going good? are you close to springfield? cuz ima be there for a eastcoast cb7 meet on the 22nd, if you are then maybe we could get up have a few drinks, shoot the shit for old times sake...

get@me,
