Toyota Repair: 2003 toyota tacoma pickup, No, compression


Question
i have a 2003 toyota tacoma pickup 4 cylinder my mechanic says i have no compression in valve # 3 and # 4 is compromised my question is do i need a valve job or could it be fuel injectors? do you know of any good mechanics in simi valley ca ?

Answer
The injectors have nothing to do with this equation.  They are upstream the valves and have no impact on a compression test.
You could either have a bad valve, head or block.  If you have no compression in #3 and a compromised #4 then they are probably related.  You may have a cracked head or block.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
