Are the valve clearances set properly?
Have you done a compression test?

Not quite sure what you mean when you say when you arc the spark to the plug it fires. Do you mean the engine then runs on 4 cylinders, or do you mean you can hear the spark jump to the plug but the engine still doesn't run on 4?

It’s a little trick to test the system. If you pull the lead off and hold it off the top of the spark plug it’ll make a wider gap, which can increase the spark power and make the plug fire.
