Cylinder 1 not firing on 2007 Mondeo XR5

I just replaced the head gasket on my 2007 Mondeo XR5 and am having an issue with Cylinder 1 not firing.

Th engine light is NOT on.

Car idles OK, but if I disconnect and reconnect the coil lead on Cylinder 1 there is no change in performance.

If I disconnect any other coil performance deteriorates and then gets better when it is reconnected (as you wourl expect.

My ODB intermittently tells me that Cylinder 1 is failing with a P301 error code.

If I am driving, it feels like the cylinder is trying to kick in when I accelerate.

We've tested the spark, which looks strong and have swapped coils and sparkplugs with other cylinders.

We listened to each injector using a screwdriver as a stethescope and they all sound the same.

Any suggestions appreciated.

    Not familiar with an XR5, is this fitted with the Volvo V5 as in my UK 2008 ST3 ?

    But if you have a cylinder not firing, and you believe you have spark, and fuel, then all that is left is air...

    Compression test OK post new head gasket ?  UK has had cars with cracked cylinder liners.

    Yes, basically it is the Volvo Engine, same as fitted to Focus STs up to around 2012 I think.

    Do a compression test as paul sugests, if ok, that will clear up the mechanical side
