umm...look at the spark plug wires. are they connected well on both ends? look inside the ends of the wires. is there any discoloration/corrosion? remove the spark plugs with a ratchet and extension. look at the prongs that are on the bottom. are they burnt/white/black/melted?

I'm surprised you were able to get out the store with that big "SUCKER" sign affixed to your back. "

ok so ive tried multiple things, i replaced the spark plugs, # 3 was burnt. when replaced nothing worked. then i tried replacing the wires, that didnt work either. ive tried this test...while the engine is running, i pulled out wire 1 and the car depleeted even more, i reconnected it. i did this until i got to wire 3, once i pulled that out, nothing happens, so...something is messed up on wire/plug # 3

So you either have no spark, fuel, or compression on that cylinder. I suggest changing the cap and rotor and if that doesn't work do a compression test to see if you have good compression in that cylinder

you mean valves and/or seats?
the seals dont hold any pressure, they just keep oil from dripping down the valve/guide.
the contact between the valve and its seat is where the pressure is held. there is a VERY easy way to check and see if its your valves that are not sealing properly....
