My 1984 190D 2.2L sounds like it's missing on one cylinder, there is a chuffing sound coming from the tail pipe. There is also a knocking sound that is most easily heard when letting off the throttle.

I did a compression test and all four cylinders were between 420-440 psi which was encouraging. Then I ran two cans of diesel purge through but there was no change, even while the car was running on the diesel purge.
