Odds are that it is indeed the center pod that has a bad diaphragm.

How was it determined that you lost a cylinder? (I am assuming you mean in the engine).

Let's say through magic, you are only running on 5 out of 6. Missing a cylinder, is not going to affect your center vent in any way.

Not sure what kind of shape your 300E is in, but if you want, you can jury rig the flap open. To stop airflow, you can use the dial.
