It's cylinder #4, it has been on and off for ages but now it just wont fire at all. It hurts to hear her sounding so sick and the exhaust smelling like straight petrol

Anyway, like I said it had been on and off for a long time, sometimes it would be fine and others it wouldn't. Which lead me to believe there could be a break inside the spark lead? the plug looks fine I think. Has anyone else had this sort of problem in an EA81? Dad reckons it could be a bit more serious like a stuck valve due to the oil getting too low at one point.
The previous owner (my brother) didn't care for the car at all, he neglected it far too much which is why the engine had to be replaced once (he didn't check the coolant and the head got cracked or something I can't remember exactly) but he also didn't check the oil often enough, dad checked it one day and it was off the chart low. Could this have stuffed up the valves? it was about a year or so ago.
Right now I'll see if we can get a new lead to see if it's that, put some Morey's upper cylinder lube in (who knows it might help) and see what happens.
Any suggestions I'm sure would do nothing but help, but if the problem is something that needs the engine out to fix, it would probably spell the end for this car; dad doesn't want to spend a whole lot on it, and I'm out of work so have zilcho to spend on it
