can anyone help?

last night i was driving my bravo and all of sudden it started making a loud tapping noise every time i put my foot down. At idle it seems to be running on 3 cylinders, no tapping noise at idle, only wen i put my foot down. can anyone advise me?

right well i have checked the spark plugs and leads and they r all working as they should. dad said to do a compression test. or if thats okay look at the injector rail. any1 know y it wouldnt ignite in the cylinder even tho spark plugs and leads are working normally?

its just 1 cylinder that isnt firing. its a 1.2 80sx its the cylinder furthest away from the cambelt.
