AnswerSpark plug wire.

Check the codes OBD and see if any other cylinders are not firing, and go from there

your local library may have a manual for free to look at good luck dave

Not only the spark plug wire, but also the ignition coil. That is exactly what caused mine.

Rare, but not impossible: fuel injector.

Why does one cylinder missfires on your Kia Optima 2002?

It is probably an ignition problem. Check the mis-firing cylinder's ignition cable from the distributor to the spark plug. A quick check would be to replace the ignition cable on the mis-firing cylinder with one from a firing cylinder. That can rule out the cable. You could have also have a broken or fouled plug. or a bad distributor cap. Carbon tracks inside or on the outside of the cap can allow the spark to jump to ground. If it isn't that, then you have a collapsed lifter or something more expensive.
