Ok let's go back to High School auto shop class.
The 4 Strokes of a Engine
Intake
Compression
Power
Exhaust
If an engine is not running something is wrong with atleast one of these 4 strokes. Through elimination we can try to find which stroke is messed up.
Since it's getting fuel and I doubt something is wrong with the exhaust, something is either wrong with intake or compression. Something like a blown head gasket or a messed up intake valve. So if you check the compression in that cylinder that should give you your answer as to which stroke is messed up. Then through a little bit more checking you will be able to figure out what's actually wrong with the engine.
