need help dead cylinder

I seem to have a dead cylinder the pluges are fine the plug wires are fine, you can barely drive the car in 6th because it bucks so bad. the car smell like it is running rich. My plans are to try a diffrent mas air due to the fact it is a 150,xxx old I also an going to do a compression/leak down test. any other advice the car does not run hot. and it is not mixing oil and water. thank you

MAF won't cause one cylinder to go out. Think about it.

Pull one plug wire at a time until you find the one that is the problem. Use a spark checker to confirm if it does have spark. Replace the bad components and check again

If wires and plugs don't bring back spark then you need an opti That is if you have spark to all the other plugs.
