Similar Issue

My 99 Outback is Misfiring on #4. Coil is Good, Plug Wires are New, Plug is New and has spark, Swapped #3 and #4 Injectors with no improvemt, Throttle Body is Clean, EGR Valve Feels good, Sprayed Carb Cleaner on all hose connections (i think) w/ no change....

The car runs pretty good once its reved up but the CEL still blinks. It idles like crap but has never died. I just took it up to shasta and got 23mpg which is normal for me with snow tires.

I ran it with the #3 plug out and there was a faint smell of fule. I ran it with #4 plug out and i dont think i smelt any fule. The motor was warm so it was evaporating fast.
-With the #3 plug out it only ran slightly worse (on 2 cyl if #4 is truely not getting fule).

I dont have a stuck valve do I??? (please no)

What havent I checked???
