98 xj misfire can’t figure it out

Hello I recently got my first XJ trail rig, and I can’t seem to get it to fire on cylinder 1 for nothin. I replaced plugs wires distributer and injectors but can’t seem to get it to fire. Below is the videos I’ve aquired of me using the scanner on it along with what it sounds like, In the 9 second cranking video it sounds to me like a dead cylinder but I’m not sure. What do y’all think?

I can see the pics but the videos don't play. It just says "Your video will be ready soon".

Use a noid light on the injector to make sure it's firing. Check for spark.

As Uncle suggests, check compression too.

With the engine running, you can pull the injector connector off and see if there is any change. That way you can be sure it's #1.
