The car has no power and is getting poor fuel mileage. The front middle cylinder is not firing. I have changed the timing belt, spark plugs, sparkplug wires, and the fuel injector. I put a hose up against the changed fuel injector and could hear it clicking. The exaust has a strong odor of raw fuel. When taking off from a stop. The car has trouble taking off. You can hear it backfiring in the intake. We checked the compression and it checked around 160 psi.

Possible causes include a bad O2 sensor, excessive fuel pressure (bad fuel pressure regulator or plugged return line), leaky fuel injectors, dirty air filter or restricted air inlet, or a defective coolant sensor that prevents the engine management system from going into closed loop mode.
