Not necessarily, could still be missing for other reasons.

Compression test is done by removing spark plug and connecting...not the injector.

Check for injector pulse. No pulse, it will not open.

You can back probe the injector plug with a DVM also.

Okay guys found the issue, driving down the road and the welded seal around the catalytic converter came apart and started leaking like crazy. Truck started to run and drive like crap I had to baby it home. So do I have to have it welded in or can I use clamps? Thanks for all the help too btw. Love these forums!
