Angry Engine missing

I have a 98 Explorer 4.0. It started missing a couple of days ago. Pulled plug wires and found that number 2 wasnt firing. I went ahead and changed plugs and wires. Started and have the same problem. I checked and I am getting fire to the plug. So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is the fuel injector firing? How's compression?

Thanks! But I am getting spark to the plug. I have not done a compression check or checked the injector, like everyone I was hoping for an easy fix.
