those are all very low and you are for sure having problems with #2

ok this is what you need to do. pull out spark plug number 2. plug into the spark plug wire. hold a screw drive(or some sort of metal) like an inch for the spark plug that is plugged into the wire. have some one try to start the care. see if you get a spark from that spark plug. if not. test the wire to see if it has the correct ohms. then just keep going back. it sounds like a dizzy problem to me.

UPDATE: its not the injector because i put injector for cylinder 2 in place of cylinder 4 and put cylinder 4 into cylinder 2 and it is the same thing the spark plug in cylinder 2 is looking brand new, and the plug is still wet on the bottom when i take it out. so what else can this be. i noticed at the corner or the head on the left by the radiator hose there is oil slowly leaking out is it possible i need a new head gasket could the be why cylinder 2 is not working? PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP

you only switched the injectors around???

try using another set of oem injectors. head gasket wont cause cylinder 2 to stop working.
does it have spark at all in cylinder 2?? if not then you might..and im only saying might have a dead piston.

^a blow headgasket will cause bad comp in cylinder two, if its blown around cylinder 2. and switching the injectors would work. if cylinder 4 is working properly, then the injector would be working properly and he said when he pulled the spark plug it was wet, i guess from fuel. and there is no such thing as a dead piston...

now do what i said before and tell me what you find out

i no for sure it has spark in cylinders 1-4 it has brand new dizzy with brand new cap and rotor brand new wires and plugs lol and yeah i only switched the injectors around to see if that was the problem with cylinder 2 but its not the problem because that injector sprayed when i put it in cylinder 4 but what do i do about this because i am not doing the work myself i think i am just gonna buy a new motor and keep the trans i found a sir-g motor for 1300 bucks can i run a usdm ecu with that

so i think the rings are pretty much fried haha what do you think

i'm telling you. check that and see if you get spark.

no reason, to waste money if you dont have to.

and when you pulled the spark plug did it smell like fuel?

i did do that test with just the wire and then i added the plug and ever cylinder sparked haha and i cant make out if the end of the plug smelled like gas or oil or a combo of both but i think the compression is to low for it is even fire i have a bad feeling the rings are shot
