Hi,
The valve core in the fuel pressure port is similar to the valve core in a tire. There are tools made specifically for them. I attached a pic below, so you have an idea of what it looks like.
The compression is a concern. The idea that it is 90 dry sounds too low. Also, you went up 36 psi wet, so I suspect the compression rings are worn in that cylinder.
Interestingly, Ford doesn't provide a minimum compression required. Instead, they tell us between the lowest and highest cylinders, they need to be within 75% of each other. Basically, with that cylinder at 90 psi dry, there can't be a cylinder with more than 112 psi. Even 112 is somewhat low. If I recall (from memory) I used to see them around 150psi +.
You could check all of them to see what is found. However, my theory is low compression in the number 4 cylinder is causing the misfire.
Let me know.
