Default Lost cylinder LS 6 engine.

While driving my car on Saturday I lost one of my cylinders. Any thoughts on why this happened? No check engine light.

My guess is something either broke or quit working like it should.

Testing showed no codes. I know it could be a number of things such as injector, spark plug wire, bad plug, rocker arms, valve springs, etc. Checking all of these items as we speak. I am not a mechanic but am a 73 year old gearhead trying to get expertise off the site.
