2000 Civic si dead cylinder help!

My 2000 Civic em1 developed a miss last week and I am at my wits end. I was running about 4000 rpm in 5th gear when suddenly cel started blinking. Limped the car home and put it on the code scanner. Read the codes and got a p1399 and p0301. Changed plugs, rotor, cap, changed plug wires around still have the miss. Has strong spark on all cylinders now. Looking in spark plug hole piston looks wet and smells like gas. No water in oil or vice versa. What else could it be?
