help with trouble code then loss of power
So a couple weeks ago I got a code P0304; miss fire on cyl #4. When the CEL came on it felt like the motor fell out of the truck, but only for a second. it was ok afterthat, but over the next couple weeks the power feels like it's been dropping off with no more codes, or otherwise any other problem other than it felt like I had a v6 instead of a v8. It runs smooth, andidles smooth, just feels like lost power.
Before I throw ignition parts on it, anything specific I should look at? no loose wiresor anything.
It's a stock 318, other than the flowmaster exhaust. Gas mileage is the same also.

I thought because i occassionally go off roading (light trails) that that could be an issue, but the airfilter is ok. not new but ok. I also looked down the throttle body for tell tale signs of a bad intake gasket, but there was only a very light film of oil, so that's ok too.
