Compression test as red said, pull the plug out and take a look. see if is oil fouled.... compression test at this stage to rule out piston/ring damage..

Any fault codes - mine was doing this recently after I tried to remove the fuel evap system. Could just be a leak but fault codes would help point you in the right direction
