190psi seems high. That's good though. How do you know the injector is working? Do you have spark on cyl 3?

How are you determining that #3 is not working? Are you getting spark on #3? If not, check the distributor cap and the plug wire resistance.

If there is spark, next thing I'd do is verify timing, and then a leak down test to rule out any valve issues. Has the valve lash been checked recently?
