Does the plug seem to be oil soaked? Does it smell heavily of fuel?

Might consider doing a compression and leakdown test. Also, you might swap injectors from that cylinder to a neighboring cylinder and see if the problem follows that injector (indicating it is sticking open typically).

dont waste your time pull the valve cover off you more than likely have a broken spring. Been there done that
