Alright, I got my CRX going last night, and I worked out a lot of the kinks, but it's not quite right yet. Driving around, it's very slow and won't go up hills, doesn't idle well at all. It sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders. I did a compression test, and they're all ok. However, it's not running on cylinder #1. I pulled the plug wire and it runs exactly the same with or without. Also, the exhaust port doesn't get hot like the other 3. I changed the plugs, and both times they came out wet with gas. It has spark, and has fuel (injector has 2.5 ohms resistance like the other 3), and has compression. Ignition timing is also good. Where should I look next?

maybe try a noid light on the injector wiring and see if the injector is getting a correct signal. or the injector might be stuck open?

I was thinking the injector might be stuck, but I don't have a stethoscope, so I'm trying to find a way to listen, which is hard
*update* I decided to old school it and stuck a screwdriver to my ear. All 4 are clicking the same rate. I'm really stumped here

did you do a leakdown test too?
try holding the spark plug wire with a plug in it against the block and see if its sparking while someone else is turning it over.
