What do you mean? A "dead" cylinder usually means an ignition failure in the combustion chamber. Check for spark from your plugs first. If there is no spark, it's probably time for a tune-up (new spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor). An actual "dead" cylinder is when the spark plug is fouled by oil blowing through the piston rings or through a hole in the top of the piston. Run a compression check on each cylinder. If there is little to no compression, it's time to rebuild the engine.
