Default compression?pgmfi?

i have 150psi compression in 3 cylinders and 60 on the driver side cylinder i thinks thats cyl. 1. i dont think it is a headgasket because ussually it will be more then one cyl with low compression. so my only guess is rings or valves not seating. i forgot how to do a wet compression test. can anyone remind me. and another dumb question does a 90 civic dx d15b2 have 2 fuel injectors? i dont understand the pgmfi thing but from what i read on alldata it has 2 fuel injectors i just want to confirm this and could i use rc 440s made for a 92-95 civic. is there a harness? and will they fit in the holes.

Yeah, probably. The fuel charge isn't being compressed enough to get a complete burn, so it's pretty much like spittin gas out the tailpipe and clogging up your cat.

hopefully my engine isnt cracked or anything. im going to do a wet compression test tommorow and a leak down test. i would rebuild the whole engine but i have limited space and only 10 days to get it fixed so i can register it.
