Best Answer

Your engine has burnt valves or worn rings. To find out which remove the plugs from 2&3, pour a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder and carry out compression test again. I hope you are using a bona-fide tester and not your thumb. because if its your thumb you might as well shove it up your nose for all that is worth. If compression has increased noticeably, rings need replacing. If not, the valves need to be ground and reseated or replaced

Your 99 Explorer's service engine light keeps coming on It's always 4 cylinder misfire cold start changed wire and plug what gives?

Think a little deeper. Combustion that fails is a misfire. You have addressed the spark side of it. There is a fuel and compression possible trouble. Try swapping the fuel injector for that cylinder with another and see if the misfire moves to the other cylinder. Compression test the cylinder to see if it is in specs. Try a cylinder leak down test and see if it is losing compression. Perhaps there is a carbon build up on the valves preventing good seating?
