That only proves the cylinder is dead. Take the plug wire off a dead cylinder.
Put a philips screw driver in it. Hold it about ½" over ground (V/C, cylinder
head, intake). (Do not lean on the fender with anything you like). Does spark
jump the ½"? Test the spark on both sides of the engine. Is it the same
strength? If yes, look elsewhere.

well lets see, there are two coils and each one feeds a plug on each
side of the motor, I know it is not firing on the drivers side because
I can pull plug wires off the drivers side and it does not change the
way it is idling, but if I pull just 1 wire off the pass side then it
dies.
