Sounds like you found the problem. Swap it to the other side and see if it does it on the other side.

When I changed plugs in my car and pulled the coil pack, the rubber 'boot' that encases the spark plug tip came apart. thought I could piece it back together and did the same as you describe. Spark gets out of the encasement and arcs against the block. Basically a dead cyclinder until you replace.

you have a spark leak giving you a dead cyl. as it shorts out....for a quick fix, wrap the wire/boot with electrical tape where you think it is split or open and then see if you improved it enough to at least drive....
