I guess look at the engine earthing strap, and the earth to the coil pack/mounting. I can understand the line of thought that it may be a compression (ie probably valves) issue, but think if that was the case it would 'backfire'. Going back to basics, we need (albeit controlled) fuel delivery, air delivery and spark to get the bang. If you have fuel, air and spark there will be a bang (not at the correct time if a valve is leaking, but it will happen). Thinking aloud, if (unlikely, but not impossible) inlet valve is stuck shut then there would be no fuel delivery into cylinder, but then is would build up on back of valve and (probably after a short while) cause such a build up in the inlet manifold that it would make the other 3 too rich. Problems such as these are intriguing, as they seem impossible - when the outcome is found we'll all say.... "Oh, of course"
