Default Cylinder #4 not firing...causes?

I found that when I step on the gas the motor is weak and makes a lawn mower noise. I pulled each wire out to see if it gets worse or stays the same to determine which one is bad and found out it was #4. I tried changing all 4 spark plugs and wires but the results are still the same. It has done this before but a spark plug replacement solved it but not this time. What are the possible causes? Bad distributor maybe?
