Unfortunately on compression check, cylinder 4 pulled the spark plug out with split and burned up coil, meaning spark plug was stripped off and then eventually blew out*. I may need to put on a (1) new head unless I can get a (2) thread repair to work. This should fix the issue and I will keep thread updated. Although the behavior prior to blow out was peculiar the engine codes and final behavior matches symptoms.
Another thing to note, I had taken the car to a ford dealer and they told me the clutch needs to be replaced to fix it -- this was not the problem.
*I am always extremely careful not to strip threads but apparently this time luck was not on my side
Thanks for all the comments
