Try giving the spark plugs a clean with a wire brush or even replace for new ones. Might be a one of the spark plug leads also. Just try these steps first as its fairly inexpensive.

Have you checked anything on it?

Try changing the plug from one of the other cylinders to the one that isn't firing. Could be a lead problem or distributor. If the plug isn't wet then its a fuel problem check the injector and injector wiring
