If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder.

If in doubt, get some Electrical Contact cleaner at any parts store if cleaning of the terminals is needed.
