Default misfire help

Okay guys my car is having a misfire issue. I've had codes for misfire cylinder 1 and for cas signal. I pulled the plugs and all of the plugs are fine but cylinder 1 is black and looks to be running rich. I swapped plugs with cylinder 1 and 2 and it didn't change anything. I pulled all of the wires while running; cylinder 1 didn't make much of a difference and seemed to have a weak spark. Cylinder 2 and 3 were strong and stalled the motor when I pulled them. Cylinder 4 spark was strong but didn't stall the engine but was way more dramatic than cylinder 1 but almost stalls the engine. I've swapped wires, both coils, cylinder one injector with a known good one, and even the cas and still no cure. I've checked compression and it is 175 across the board. Is there anything else I'm overlooking or should try? Thanks in advance

Igniter. Sends the spark signal to the coils.

Ignitor could cause a misfire or weak spark in one cylinder
