Question 1997 sebring 2.5 misfire #4

HELP!
1997 Sebring 2.5 Convertible with a misfire on cyl #4.
Vehicle is running rough and would shut off. Restart car would run for a moment or two then shut off. Replace an *** load of parts, distributor, injectors, multiple sensors, magnets all kids of replacement parts.
The car now will stay running but is extremely rough. OB2 list error code as misfire on #4 cyl
On top of the rough running the car will stall out and shut down if the fuel goes below ½ of a tank?
HELP?
What can I do here??

Thanks
john

First thing that comes two mine when reading your post: and not knowing what load of parts were exactly change when conditions did improve.

I would hope that these parts were possibly changed:

- air filter
- spark plugs, and gaped correctly
- plug wires, adhering to firing order
- distributor cap
- distributor rotor
- fuel filter
- checked fuel pump pressure
- cylinder compression test
- cylinder leak down test

This is where I would check if not replaced.
You don't mention any burning of oil, is it?
It almost sounds like you may have water in the fuel as well?

Yeah, double check to make sure you haven't mixed up spark plug wires. Then check your fuel pressure. A bad load of fuel could have clogged your filter and/or injectors.
