no compression ? leaky injecter?

well before i rip my motor out of my car i wanna make sure its the motor . story is i was in a parking lot waiting for some 1 2 weeks ago . shut it off . start it back up . they were taking too long so i shut it off . thenstarted it back up to leave . and boom the car ran like **** barley made it home now power felt like it was cutting out . next day i do a compression test . and it has nothing in front rotor at all not even a bump on the needle . the rear one was fine 3 good bumps . before all the this the car ran fine all stock . now my freind was telling me had a fd with leaking injecters and he got no compression numbers on front a rear rotor cause of it . he said it creates a film around the rotor . the car still starts right up has no power till the secondarys kick it then it runs smoother . its running on open downpipe now cause the cats were clogged . noticed it was glowing red before the was even warmed up . im confused on how to check for leaking injecter or just my apex seals are gone .

yes if the engine is flooded/not running right compression will go down. ive seen Rx8's go from mid 5's to 9's by changing the coils.

Pull EGI fuse. Crank it over. Crank it over again. Crank it again. Should clean out excess fuel if that is the problem.

Maybe it is time to get your injectors flow tested and cleaned... Witch Hunter is great!

Seals might be jammed up with carbon, try letting it sit with Marvel Mystery Oil and see if that makes a difference.
