Fuel filter comes to mind or fuel pump, but it could be other things also.

Possible symptoms...( Distributor / Ignition Control Module & Coil / If you have one Check for an open Vaccum port behind Throttle Body at the Intake Manifold !!!

Another thought that came to mind!!! You may want to check the condition of you intake valves..A burnt intake valve can cause low compression to that cylinder....
