Default P0304 misfire

I am receiving CEL P0304 engine Misfire Cylinder 4
Current mileage is aprox 259000
Cylinder 4 compression is 125lbs
Plug gap is .035
I replaced the #4 injector, as the old one had a crack in the plastic molding. I was concerned I was incurring heat soak.
Plugs,cap,rotor, and wires have 10,000 miles on them.
Any ideas as to what my next step should be? As might be expected it is running a little rough. Not terribly bad, but not right.
