No, the module (?) Will not drop one cylinder.
Check for crud on the electrodes under the distributor cap, bad plug wire, plug or no compression on that cylinder.
You can check the plug wire by swapping that wire for another plug wire and check if the miss fire follows.
On a side note, punctuation would help in understanding what you're posting.

Run a compression test on that cylinder.
And just a period at the end of a sentence, no need to dissect an adverb or whatever an english major does, :jester:
I will remove myself from your page.I didn't sign on to be corrected. I have been an mechanic for over 40 years and my car has been in storage for a while ,and just started to act up,and was chasing my tail figured someone on here would be helpful,but I'm not seeing this here so good by.
 
@guzzi10000 stick around. This is a good group of guys who know quite a lot about Mustangs.
There’s plenty of those “has beens” that test our patlence........ if you’re legit, let it play out and I’m sure you’ll get the answers you need.

Read your own post.
I didn't mean to be mean it's just hard to understand this.
And I was being helpful and considerate. If asking to make real sentences is too much to ask then, well, I don't know what to say cept someone that is 69 years old and a mechanic for 40 of those years could construct a sentence and perform a compression test.
Now get to work and tell us what you find.
BTW, I am constantly proof reading and correcting my errors before I hit 'post'.
I have an idiot light for a reason. :jester:
 
Thank you.However please remove me from this group.don't need smart ass people's comments I will get to the bottom of the problem myself. thank you Mitch Bauer
