A hole in the top of the piston or a burnt out valve.Take the cylinder head off and have a look.

Bad spark plug or wire. Also could be the distributor or the electronic ignition computer. If the plug is fouled by oil, you may have a more serious problem like a blown head gasket or piston rings. Take it to a mechanic to be sure.

Plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, ignition module, or if it is a model without a distributor it could be the coil pack. Also keep in mind that if you run regular gas in it, it could be a dirty fuel injector.

You have a bad spark plug in cylinder number 3. It could be just mileage on the plugs or you could have a bad valve cover gasket causing oil to build on the plug making it foul out. Hope that helps?

Worn out/fouled spark plugs, bad spark plug wire. If the car uses a distributer cap it could be that also.

an engine needs 3 elements to run,hearth ,gas,and compression.you should commence by technique of sorting out which that cylinder has lost. also note those engines are usual for undesirable injectors.

Bad plug, wire or coil. Less likely, internal engine damage, like bad valves, etc.
