1999 Toyota Camry Water pump

Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 176000 miles

My water pump went out and when it did it saturated the timing belt and it slipped. Now after we have changed everything and fixed the timing it is only running on 3 cylenders. What does this mean? What can I look at to have minimum cost? I do not want to put a new engine in it.

Check spark plug/wire/cap, compression and injector for that cylinder-

HI there,

As well as what the last post has mentioned, i would do a compression test just to make sure that you have not got a bent valve.
