    How do you know it is only running on 5 cylinders, and STOP driving it before you do more damage.

    ? They said you have a dead cylinder, but that it isn't a necessary fix?

    Go back and slap whoever told you that in the face. Unless your check engine light is on and flashing, you're not having that issue.

    Then you truly do have an issue, and it should be fixed asap. Plugs and wires would be my first thoughts... then maybe a bad injector. It'd be nice if they told you which cylinder.
