Default Need help with a misfire problem

My truck is misfiring in cyl #4. It randomly fires maybe 50% of the time better at half throttle, extremely bad at 1/4 throttle. Only on cyl #4. It has been doing it for a while so I replaced all plugs and wires. Didn't help, so I replaced the #4 coil, this didn't help either. Any thoughts? It is a 2000 5.3 silverado. Thanks

Burning oil? How did the plug look when you took it out compared to the rest? What other mods do you have? Ever run nitrous?

no stock work truck, about 60000 miles, no mods, plug was wet and black, it definitely wasn't firing

My problem is definitely not with the injector plug or wire

I have tried multiple wires and coils, I definitely have a wiring or computer problem. But nothing has ever been apart and is all stock.

Thanks

Does it all the time.

Would a stuck injector cause a coil not to fire? I mean I used a timing light on the wire and there is not spark about 50% of the time.

Thanks
