Any codes? A miss which occurs long enough should trip the CEL. anything from 0300 to 0308. Other things could be a fuel,system, fuel injector(s) or mechanical issues with a cylinder(s). You need to do some further investigating, starting with a code check.

Check the wiring and the distributor. My 7th cyl in my 97 4.6L did the same thing and it was a loose connection to my spark plugs.Also the had the popping noise, just don't drive it long distance with that sound. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
