Just bought a 93, 3.2 xj6 and its missing on number 3, changed the injectors, did a compression test, showed 10 then did it again and it showed 5, its sparking well and the engine does not smoke. Help?

Question; What do the rest of the cylinders read?
Average good compression should be 150 to 160 lbs.
If #3 is the only cyl. That is low, it's either a burned or bent valve, or a flat lobe on the cam shaft. If #3 "is" the only one low, that rules out head gasket. You can visually inspect the camshaft by pulling the valve cover. Good luck.
