Pull out the spark plug & take a look at it. If it's corroded and gunked up, it's probably easiest to replace it outright (although you can try cleaning and gapping it to see if that helps).
If that doesn't help, I'd replace the distributor cable.
If you're still having trouble, you may need to have the distributor worked on or replaced. I'd also recommend having the timing checked at this point, although in general, you'd have trouble with more than just the one cylinder if it were the timing. But it's a quick, easy check that a mechanic can (should) do before replacing the distributor.

If you're getting spark at the actually wire.. then you need to replace or clean your spark plug..
if you're not getting spark from the wire.. check to make sure you're getting spark at the coil...
You just trace it down to what's not giving spark.

replace the plug first of all, it could have lots of problems, including the porcelain being broken.
second, check the wire to make sure it isn't arcing.

Check your coil and distributor and make sure there is electricity at each connection.
