    I have an 87 4runner with a rebuilt 22re. It has about 15k on the rebuild.
    My third piston isn't firing, I've cleaned the injector and checked the valve adjustment. I don't have a lot of money so I'm trying to check and do the cheapest things I can first. Please if anyone has suggestions on what to try please do so. I am working on getting the compression checked as I don't have the tester. What should my compression be at and if low, what does that mean and/or what should I do?? Thank you so much as I am in a rough spot right now and really need this to be fixed.
