Default cylinder 3 has low compression (125 psi)...the motor should still run correct?

the other cylinders are 180-175...on the 125 psi cylinder, i put a bit of oil and redid the comp check. it checked out at 180. now the engine starts but after maybe 2 seconds or if i try and give it throttle, then it stalls out? if the motor still should run, then what else should i check for? the timing is dead on...it's got spark...it's getting fuel? i'm open for any suggestions. thanks a ton.

Have you tried hooking up a fuel presure gauge?

f'u quickgsr. i can tell your real smart and real new. you need to keep your wise *** comments to your gay self, or make replys like that and let it be known how dumb you are. i don't take my car to any mechanic. and this is not my car i'm fixing anyway. no thanks for your time and waste of space jack'o gsr.

i changed the spark plugs and it works now. that's all i did. and all i wanted to know was if it would run. but i guess i figured it out.

-to the guy, chiovnidca, who mentioned if i checked the fuel...yeah i did check everything. thanks for the time.
