98 yota 2.4l 190k mi. 5 spd. Truck started misfiring real bad every time I hit the gas. Autozone diag says it's a misfire on cyl 4. changed all plugs, checked all wires by swapping and trying to get the misfire to follow a certain wire, checked compression and it was fine, (even a little high). Plugs and exhaust smelled like gas. Could it be valves? Fuel injector?

MasterCheck valve clearance if over 120k its a possibility (shim adjusted). Check compression is even in all cylinders.
