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,

I thought an English major was a guy in the royal army who is in charge.

@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.

And I'm just an old smartass, but I'd help you out in a New York minute.
We all need to lighten up and have some fun.

Don't sweat it too much, folks.

People come and go. Some arrive at an environment that relies on the written word and make an effort. Others don't.

i always thought being a car guy required a thick skin. I mean i still got friends even though they've lost at the track or still have their cars on jack stands. People are just way too sensitive these days.
