Start by checking the spark plug on cylinder 4 for wear or damage, as this is a common cause of misfires. If the spark plug looks fine, inspect the ignition coil for that cylinder. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

I had misfiring on the 3 cylinder but also my Nox sensor is loss. I repaired the Nox sensor by driving for half an hour at more than 2000 rpm. For me it was 2500 rpm, now the value at 3000 rpm is 145, before at 573 during the live test. I then carried out another diagnosis and all errors disappeared.

It's great to hear that your issue was resolved! For others experiencing similar misfires, it's always a good idea to check the spark plugs and ignition coils first. If anyone has further questions or needs more assistance, feel free to ask!
