I listed the causes for a missfire. I've never heard of a pcm causing a single cylinder miss..
You have a bad wire,plug,coil,injector or your compression has fallen to unworkable levels.

Take a look at the wire harness above the AC accumulator. That can cause ignition problems if there's any damage to the insulation.
